20 movies that feel like a dream

13) ⁠Mulholland Drive

Trending

This film, David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, hauntingly enchanting, is the exploration of Hollywood's dark underbelly. The structure is similar to dreamwork because the narrative shifts here unexpectedly, and reality crumbles; it blurs conscious and subconscious. The very atmosphere and image use by Lynch in the eerie imagery-ominous blue box, mysterious diner-makes for a world that doesn't feel quite real, nor does the viewer know what he should trust. The disturbing ambiance and the psychological tension propel it into a lucid nightmarish dream—one that is unsettling and yet endlessly intriguing.
