Show Notes
David Lynch steps into the limelight in this episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, as we particularly focus on his classic feature, Mulholland Drive.
Host Simon Brew is joined by critic and broadcaster Leila Latif, who discovered the work of David Lynch with The Elephant Man, and has the enviable job of explaining Mulholland Drive to us too.
They get into just why it's a modern masterpiece, and how it came out of a failed television pilot. Plus, a few words about Inland Empire too. They also end up chatting about clip-art birthday invites.
As always too, a bunch of recommendations from the STUDIOCANAL catalogue, and a host of news on upcoming releases…
