Semiotic Psychoanalysis of Mulholland Drive and Uncanny Movie Director David Lynch

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to give information about director David Lynch and his psychoanalytic techniques, which are related to subconsciousness of audiences. It can be observed that David Lynch, who uses metaphors, metonymies and symbols through moving to semiotics based on semiotic scientific analysis, is intertwined with psychoanalysis by revealing his uncanniness and therefore benefiting abundantly from Lacan and Freud. Since his world is quite dark and complex, observing his films and understanding the language of symbols in addition to analyzing his films are essential. David Lynch, who is an auteur, opens new windows to the visualization of aesthetic and visual codes in the minds of the audiences. Like “Mulholland Drive”, and “Lost Highway.”
