Suffering

 
David Lynch died last year, so we will never get out of him what he really wanted to convey with "Mulholland Drive".  Humans aren't as creative as God: we can't create something out of nothing.  So what if the artist doesn't have to suffer in order to make great art.  It then means that you write about other people's suffering.  Lynch didn't make another movie that matched the greatness of "Mulholland Drive" before he died.

Lynch famously said that "anything goes" with the interpretation of "Mulholland Drive".  But he could have accidentally told a real story.  The silent instructions of the Mob boss for example, done entirely by innuendo.  Which in turn generated a cascade of suffering upon suffering.
