Mulholland Drive- Film Review
Cast: Naomi Watts, Laure Harring, Justin Theroux, Ann Miller, Dan Hedaya
Director: David Lynch
Screenplay: David Lynch
Rating: 5/5
Betty Elms: I'm sorry. I'm just so excited to be here. I mean I just came here from Deep River, Ontario, and now I'm in this dream place. Well, you can imagine how I feel.
The film follows aspiring actress Betty (Naomi Watts) as she helps unravel the mystery surrounding a beautiful woman who suffers from amnesia after a car accident, the two women form a bond and fall in love or do they?. David Lynch’s surreal masterpiece shows the dark side of Hollywood in an unsettling, erotic fashion.
The film feels like a dream, its imagery is mesmerising and bizarre and suits this neo-noir thriller. The movie is sinful pleasure and deserves rapturous applause for visionary daring.
The lead actress’s performances are brilliant, they are played with convincing emotion and emptiness. They seduce the audience with their urgency and passion.
Lynch ditches the conventional Hollywood narrative in favour of a string of incoherent scenes that are as unconnected as the characters themselves. The scenes are shocking, compelling but feel like a hallucination.
