Rating: 5/5 -- Knowingly exploiting the tropes and clichés of Hollywood film while eschewing its formal and logical boundaries, Lynch's film strikes at the heart of cinema's power to represent mood, sensation and altered states of perception. Full Review

...Naomi Watts shows real attack....[The film] shows signs of being a lasting work, a film that shifts and changes along with the viewer...

Rating: 5/5 -- Though Mulholland Drive does not employ reverse chronology as such, it is about a fundamental disconnect - as David Roche called it - between narration and diegesis. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- It is an explosively sexy love story, rocket-fuelled with vanity and cruelty. Full Review

Watts, in two opposite roles, displays striking range.
Premiere

MULHOLLAND DR. is an enigma dazzled by old Hollywood glamour, warping filmic narrative to the edge of incoherence, so that all of its seductive qualities come through.

Product Description:

David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture--a brilliant, scathing, hysterical, and haunting ode to Hollywood. In the film, a mysterious dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) emerges from an accident with a purse full of cash and a head full of amnesia. Meanwhile, Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a wide-eyed gal from Deep River, Ontario, has just landed in Los Angeles with dreams of movie super stardom. When Betty finds the nameless beauty in her aunt's apartment, she is deeply intrigued by the situation and offers to help her. This sends the two women on a bizarre search for the truth through the macabre, sun-soaked streets of the City of Angels, where the mob, a young film director (Justin Theroux), a studio executive with a tiny head, and an enigmatic figure named the Cowboy all float into the picture, then out again, until there is no longer any distinction between what is dream and what is reality.

Originally filmed as a pilot for ABC, Lynch's daring, open-ended vision was coldly rejected by the network. As he was about to abandon the project, French producer Pierre Edelman convinced Lynch to rethink it as a feature. The result is this stunning expression of the subconscious, a testament to the power of personal artistic vision.
