Review of Mulholland Drive (2001) by Stefan N — 10 Mar 2014

Stop, drop, and watch this ! David Lynch cobbles episodes from his cancelled TV show with newly filmed footage, and stirring up a ground-breaking masterpiece with colorful, dizzying, and mysterious editing.

Mulholland Drive is one of the rare occasions where you are frozen in awe after watching a film that is beyond definition and unlike any other film ever made. Naomi Watts and Laura Harring maintain the film's mystery giving real performances that benefit from Lynch's complex writing of characters.

Mulholland Drive is the first film that feels like a dream, and equally, makes you as frustrated when it ends as when an excellent dream does. If you love 50's era Hollywood,watch this film immediately! Lynch evokes the classic feel of Sunset Boulevard without making it a period piece, and contemplates on the difficulties of having a successful career in Hollywood.
