Mulholland
Drive

HUGE
Mulholland Drive
was an idea for a television series by David Lynch. ABC had to decide between David Lynch's Mulholland Drive
or Kevin Williamson's Wastelands. ABC chose
Kevin Williamson's show, which only lasted about
three episodes.
This movie won for Best Director
(shared with the one of the Coen Brothers) at the
Cannes Film Festival.
You're watching the pilot of what could have
been the beginning of a great show.
I was a “Twin Peaks” fan and still am.
Twin Peaks was also another David Lynch
series.
There are so many stories involved in
this movie. First
there is Justin Theroux's character, a director who
must choose a certain actress in his movie.
There are two hilarious scenes with him and
The Cowboy. There
is another hilarious scene involving a would-be
assassin and his kill. Somehow David Lynch will make you laugh at a violent scene.
Most of the movie deals with the car
crash at the beginning.
Namoni Watts’ character doesn't remember
her name and what happened.
The movie is about her and her naive actress
friend trying to solve this mystery.
Don't expect an ending that will resolve
everything. Twin
Peaks ended with Dale Cooper saying, “How's Annie?
How's Annie?” Mullholand Drive also ends in a
weird and more so disturbing way. Mulholland Drive is weird, disturbing and violent;
what a great David Lynch movie should be.

So, you want it all wrapped up in a neat, handy
package -- the cues for when to cry, when to laugh,
when to dream? If so, don't see this movie. Run
screaming from the theater - NOW. But if you want to
watch a film from a director who thinks you're
intelligent and interesting enough to form your own
conclusions, Mulholland Drive is your movie, and
David Lynch, your spellbinding, masterful, intensely
creative director. The movie makes non-linear sense.
. .it makes what my friends and I call "female
sense," found through intuition and feeling,
rather than sheer intellectualizing. This movie is
beyond the pale of anything you've ever seen before
- for that reason alone, if nothing else - it
deserves awards for making movies intriguing and
intelligent, again. Scoff if you want - Lynch is a
one-of-a-kind treasure in the film world.
