The idea leading his viewers on a paper-chase seems a little unconvincing as it goes against Lynch's usual habit of letting his work stand alone. I think you have to consider the fact that Lynch was pressured to come up with these clues by the French production company that was losing millions. When these were released the film was a disaster financially and the general buzz at that time was there was no plot to figure out. I think the clues are important and relevant but not necessarily the 10 clues Lynch would really give if he wanted us to figure out what his exact intentions were. He had said before these were released and after they were released that he would never reveal what MD meant to him, it was up to everyone to have their own vision. - (richdubbya)

Much has been written about David Lynch's acclaimed Mulholland Drive, and very little concluded (at least not definitively). Almost every scene of this dazzling spaghetti junction of a movie raises more questions than it cares to answer. Since the film's release, critics and film-goers have been falling over themselves to try and explain its underlying meaning.

In the end, of course, there's only one man who knows for sure. Which is why we've asked David Lynch to personally provide 10 clues to help unlock the film's mystery. Courtesy of Canal Plus, the legendary director has agreed to help out.

Using Lynch's clues, your mission is to write your own interpretation of Mulholland Drive and to explain the film's riddle once and for all. The writer of the best, most convincing and well-argued explanation will win a round-trip for two to Los Angeles.
