An Investigation of the Theme of Sexuality in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001)
Dr Matthew Carter from the Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies analyses the investigations of sexuality in filmmaker David Lynch’s psycho-sexual thriller Mulholland Drive (2001). In this talk, he analyses the film through a consideration of the work of Judith Butler, and discusses how far the film’s ‘dream logic’ narrative can be considered for the feminist project of sexual representation in cinema.
