The open-ended narrative of Mulholland Drive, coupled with Lynch’s surreal technique, lends this movie a hallucinatory quality. It makes this scene even more jarring because Lynch’s use of music is so beautiful. At a pivotal point in the film, lovers Betty and Rita visit the ghostly, near-empty Club Silencio. A performer announces “No hay bander”: there is no band. And yet we hear one. Then Rebekah Del Rio performs her Spanish, a cappella version of Roy Orbison’s Crying (renamed Llorando). I have watched this film more times than I’d ever care to admit but Del Rio’s voice, a cloudburst of emotion, always knocks the wind out of me. Any further description of what happens would spoil it for those (shame on you) who haven’t seen it.

Somebody explain this to me immediately so I can determine whether or not I should be jealous that she can do a meaningless thing in an amazing way or terrified that the antichrist walks among us.

Here’s what I think is really happening: the people who are giving this movie awards are really giving themselves an award. That award is The Cool Filmgoer Award for Outstanding Achievement in Going to a Silent Movie, Watching the Whole Thing, and Enjoying or at Least Appreciating it.

This quote is spot-on. However, unlike the original poster, I do quite like many silent movies. In fact, my favorite actress of all time was in many (Louise Brooks) of them.
