Daily Dialogue — February 1, 2018

“You’re playing a dangerous game here. If you’re trying to blackmail me… it’s not going to work.”

— Mulholland Dr. (2001), written by David Lynch

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Whisper.

Trivia: Originally filmed in 1999 on a budget of $8 million as a made-for-TV pilot, Mulholland Dr. (1999), new scenes were filmed one year later on a $7-million budget given by the French film studio Studio Canal to wrap up the open ending, which had been left unresolved in the original version so that a TV series could follow.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Whispered dialogue can enhance the sexual nature of the words as in this spicy scene from Mulholland Dr.
