Whatever that means reports are out of David Lynch’s latest project. And it doesn’t take the form of a film in which an amateur detective ends up embroiled in a twisted sexual scenario with a masochistic songstress and her abusive, gas addicted boyfriend who veers between the personas of an angry baby and menacing thug.
Far from it, in fact, as the man who likes to make people ponder subtexts and sanity is set to open a real life Club Silencio (a set used in 2001’s Mulholland Drive) this September.
