from persona to mulholland drive: when cinema replaces narrative with the logic of dreaming

designboom.com·Apr 9, 2026

The article explores how certain filmmakers like Luis Buñuel, David Lynch, Ingmar Bergman, and Charlie Kaufman create films that abandon traditional narrative structures, instead using dream-like logic characterized by association, recurrence, and displacement, resulting in a cinema that holds tension and operates through atmosphere rather than coherence.

The content is not directly relevant to the reader's specific interests in design tools, UX design, product design, architecture, and related fields. It focuses on the narrative techniques used in cinema, particularly how filmmakers like Lynch and Buñuel use dream-like structures, which may not provide actionable insights for someone focused on design and architecture.
