Meshes Of The Afternoon / Mulholland Drive |
I know I said I drained the well with the Maya Deren/ David Lynch comparisons but I think I opened up a new realm after watching a bunch of Deren's films recently...
Make sure to check out parts;
one,
two &
three of my exploration between Deren & Lynch for the more obvious/well-known comparisons.
Enjoy...
The interiors in their respective films are damn near identical from the movement of the camera to the actual furniture in the rooms...
