Mulholland Drive (2001) 
"Mulholland Dr." (original title)
 147 min  -  Drama | Mystery | Thriller  -(France)
After a car wreck on the winding Mulholland Drive renders a woman amnesiac, she and a perky Hollywood-hopeful search for clues and answers across Los Angeles in a twisting venture beyond dreams and reality.

Director:  David Lynch

The film really doesn't have main characters, but if there were main characters, they would be Betty (Naomi Watts) and Rita (Laura Elena Harring). Betty is a perky blonde who's staying in her aunt's apartment while she auditions for parts in movies. She finds Rita in her aunt's apartment and decides to help her. You see, Rita's lost her memory. She has no clue who she is. She takes her name, Rita, from a "Gilda" poster in the bathroom. So the two set out to discover who Rita really is.

This film is bizarre, nightmarish, and absolute indescribable. It's like a dream captured on film. By the 100-minute point, the film has become extremely confusing - but if you've been watching closely, it will make perfect sense.

The acting is very good. Watts is terrific. Justin Theroux is very good as a Hollywood director facing problems with the local mob. The music is excellent. And the directing -David Lynch is as masterful a filmmaker as ever there was.


You'll need to be patient with the film, and probably watch it a second time to pick up the many clues Lynch has left throughout the movie. For "Mulholland Dr." is a masterpiece. It's brilliant, enigmatic, and masterfully filmed.
