The film is famously split into two distinct parts that contrast a glamorous fantasy with a harsh reality: Part 1: The Dream (The First Two Hours):

Now, the “x265” part. The H.265/HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard, implemented by the open-source encoder x265, compresses video more efficiently than the older H.264 (x264).
For a film like Mulholland Drive, x265 offers specific benefits:
| Feature | H.264 (x264) | H.265 (x265) | Impact for Mulholland Dr. | |---------|--------------|--------------|----------------------------| | Compression efficiency | Baseline | ~50% better at same quality | Smaller file size without losing shadow detail. | | Macroblock size | Up to 16x16 pixels | Up to 64x64 pixels | Reduces “blockiness” in dark sections (e.g., the alley behind Winkie’s). | | Motion estimation | Complex | More precise | Preserves the fluidity of the dolly shot through the red curtains. | | Grain retention | Poor at low bitrates | Better with tune grain settings | Film grain remains intact without excessive bitrate. |
