A part of that distortion just comes from it being shot with a wide angle lens, a simple effect used masterfully for that shot/sequence. I'm partial to the brief close-up of the fan that follows as well, it creates an awfully unsettling mood.

I picked up Mulholland Dr. on blu ray back when it was released on Criterion Collection and was immediately impressed not only with the quality of the film transfer but the packaging as a whole. Criterion infuses the whole thing with the spirit of the film and it's clear just by scanning through everything included in the package that they truly care about and love this film.

So naturally when I was back at Movie Trading Company shopping for a gift for someone else I ended up spending a bit more money on myself by buying Eraserhead on blu ray Criterion Collection as well. Again, just shocked by how wonderful the packaging is on this thing. I'm waiting until I move in to my new house and get my entertainment system set up before watching it because it deserves a truly great sound system and picture quality.
