Is it the ultimate, definitive Mulholland Drive release? Is it worth replacing an older edition for? Let's solve the mystery. This one creates even more new special features and uses the updated 4k scan that debuted on the Criterion disc.

Then I updated it with the Concorde blu, and now I'm updating it yet again with the new Studio Canal blu (not to be confused with the previous Studio Canal blu). Update: 4/30/15 - 4/6/17 - 5/8/17 - 6/8/17: There is no end! The Criterion blu did come out, so I updated this post with that. So, not for the first time, Lynch fans were compelled to import. And in 2010, they even upgraded it to blu-ray, something which has yet to happen in the states. Meanwhile, in Europe, Studio Canal released a 2-disc special edition. A brief shot of Laura Herring, featuring some below the belt nudity, was optically fogged despite playing uncut in theaters, apparently to prevent nude photos from circulating on the internet. It also doesn't have any special features (despite some good, on-set interviews being available, as we'll come to later) except for a single page insert with "10 Clues to Unlocking This Thriller." And finally, Lynch personally censored one scene from the film for its home video release. As a pleasant surprise, however, it turns out the DVD does have chapter stops, a lot even, they're just not indicated by a chapters menu. Thanks to Lynch's eccentricity and probably a slight misunderstanding of the medium, it is presented without chapter stops, as per his wishes. So it played well theatrically, and eventually in 2002, Universal gave us the slightly controversial DVD.
