Mulholland Drive (2001)

An aspiring young actress (Naomi Watts in her breakthrough role) arrives in Los Angeles and befriends a young woman (Laura Harring) with amnesia, who is recovering from a car accident. Written and directed by David Lynch (BLUE VELVET). Where does one begin talking about this surrealistic puzzle of a film? Lynch had a great success with the TV series TWIN PEAKS so it was natural he'd want to dip his creative toes into the water again. MULHOLLAND DRIVE was originally conceived as a pilot for a proposed TV series but network executives rejected it. So Lynch filmed some additional scenes to the pilot and the subsequent feature film became one of the most acclaimed films of 2001. But what does it mean? Lynch isn't telling and he leaves it up to the audience to interpret the film. Is it a dream? A nightmare? A parallel universe? An alternate consciousness? What it IS, is one of the most audacious and original films of the 21st century. No need to understand it when you can bathe in its creativity. Just enjoy the rollercoaster ride. With Justin Theroux,  Ann Miller, Lee Grant, Robert Forster, Dan Hedaya, Chad Everett and James Karen.
