“★★★★ – This is a movie to surrender yourself to. If you require logic, see something else.” – Roger Ebert
“★★★★★ – Lynch’s formal control and the intensity of Watts and Harring bring it to a new pitch.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Fairy tale turns to nightmare in David Lynch’s darkly entertaining story of a fresh-faced Hollywood newcomer who becomes involved with a beautiful woman with amnesia.
Nothing is as it seems in this maze of dreams and reality starring Naomi Watts as hopeful actress Betty Elms and Laura Harring as the mysterious women at the center of this story. As the two set off to solve the amnesiac woman’s identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project, in which characters may be reliving past experiences or imagining new ones, and the past and the present unfold continually upon each other.
At turns frightening, funny, sexy and just plain weird, Mulholland Drive is an enigmatic extension of Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and Lost Highway. Originally conceived as a TV pilot, Lynch transformed the film into a feature when the network rejected it.
