David Lynch to open Mulholland Drive-style nightclub in Paris

Club Silencio, inspired by a key setting from Lynch's 2001 film, will incorporate a concert hall, restaurant, library and cinema

It was conceived as a TV series and released as a standalone feature. Now it transpires that David Lynch's acclaimed Mulholland Drive is set for a further lease of life, in the guise of a Parisian nightclub.

Club Silencio, inspired by a key location from Lynch's enigmatic 2001 film, is set to open in the French capital this September, replete with an interior designed by the director himself. "I enjoy how architecture and design create mood," Lynch explained to the New York Times.

Hailed by critics as one of Lynch's finest films, Mulholland Drive charts the adventures of a young Hollywood starlet and an amnesiac femme fatale. Their journey leads them behind the red velvet drapes at "Club Silencio", where they are assured that a multitude of mysteries ? the significance of the blue key, the whereabouts of Aunt Ruth ? will be explained.

Based on the Rue Montmartre, the true-life Club Silencio will reportedly include a concert hall, restaurant, library and cinema. Visitors will presumably be advised to avoid the dumpster out the back, where it is rumoured that a hobo lies in wait.
