Center
Primary
The film primarily explores psychological and existential themes of shattered dreams and identity within the surreal landscape of Hollywood, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or offering political solutions.
The film features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative primarily explores themes of identity, ambition, and the dark side of Hollywood, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
Mulholland Drive features a central, passionate lesbian relationship depicted with dignity and complexity. While the narrative culminates in tragedy, the film frames the heartbreak as a result of betrayal and unrequited love, not the queer identity itself, thereby affirming the worth of their connection.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
