We wrap up our MINDF*CKS triple feature with David Lynch's surrealist sensory experience through celebrity success and self-destruction. Everybody wants to be somebody, every somebody is someone else, and the Hollywood elite are anything but sweet, as we follow our dreams to the outer limits of La-La land, to meet the mysterious Mr. Roque and his army of dreamers, schemers and doppelgangers in Mulholland Drive.
