(Mulholland Drive, 2001)
Non-Linear Methods:
Chronicle - The main dream of Mulholland Drive is linear in a way. It does follow events forward, but switches between different characters perspectives. Then as soon as we're out of Diane's dream, things get muddled quickly.
Zig Zag - The narrative jumps between different perspectives, the "main story" of Rita and Betty, the dilemma of the director Adam and at the end Diane's perspective as she becomes more and more upset about what happened to her.
Analepsis, Prolepsis and Achrony - These 3 tie in with each other, as we're not sure which events in the end are flashbacks or flash forwards, or in which order the Analepsis and Prolepsis take place. Therefore as the events become more random, Achrony takes over.
Storytelling Devices:
Framing - The main story takes place inside of Diane's Dream.
Twist - The twist is that everything with Betty and Rita was a dream, something Diane was making up as an ideal scenario.
