Lynch films like Mullholland Drive really can't be compared to other films.
Identities and existences are in constant flux and in question.  And they
are FAR from comedy. (Lynch might be compared to Beckett without the
humor.)  In MD, the black-haired amnesiac, and the blond actress-wannabe
from the sticks, and the decomposing OD corpse might all be the same
person...  Who else does that?

Existential Noir?
