Is David Lynch's work intentionally confusing?

Answered in David Lynch's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

People often look for a clear path, a simple explanation. But life, and dreams, they’re not always like that. There’s a mystery. *Mulholland Drive* might feel like a puzzle, but it’s more about the emotional landscape, the shifts in feeling, the way one reality can bleed into another. It’s not about being confusing for the sake of it; it’s about reflecting the way the mind works, the way we experience things. We don’t always have all the answers neatly laid out. Sometimes, the beauty is in the unanswered question, in the lingering feeling. It’s all about that feeling, you know?
