Could well be the most impressive film I have ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2007)

I think that this is my number one most impressive film I have seen so far. This has it all, lesbianism, mystery, horror, comedy, action, emotion, romance, thrills, sex... you name it! Naomi Watts showed me the most powerful and emotional performance I have probably ever seen in a film. It provokes just about every emotion a human is capable of feeling all in one weird, confusing, yet intense and lovable ride.
I came to love David Lynch through my love of the Silent Hill games (which are inspired by his works). I found that whilst his story telling can be too complex and abstract for people to handle, his use of imagery and direction is actually stronger than his storytelling abilities. With his previous weird film, "Lost Highway" I wasn't overly impressed with the story (or Bill Pullman's acting LOL) but what made me enjoy the film most is just how well he works the camera. His surreal, dreamlike imagery is so unique, intense and beautiful even during the most sinister and horrific of images. His films are works of art. Like abstract paintings that can be looked at so many different ways and give each viewer a unique interpretation.
Although I could call most of his works true classics of cinema, personally I feel Mulholland Drive is where Lynch's skills all come together. Though the story could be his weirdest and most confusing yet, it is definitely one of his most incredible. The only bad part is when I had to explain to my friends what the hell was happening in this film after I showed it to them! If you are turned away by this film the first time round and just see it as pretentious, I hope you don't be too soon to dismiss it, as I have found that repeat watchings reveal more and more depth to the film. Topped off with a beautiful and diverse soundtrack, some insanely good acting by Naomi Watts (don't worry, it's supposed to be cheesy to begin with). Mulholland Drive could well be one of the best and most memorable films in history. You won't be able to forget most of the scenes, nor find anything (except perhaps another David Lynch work) to compare it with!
