Please, it's David Lynch

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2003)

I've been reading over the User Comments, and it seems like the reaction to Mulholland Drive is either one of awe or one of scorn. The latter opinion tends to be laden with confusion as to the plot and "the meaning" of the movie. I'm not going to go into what my interpretation of what this movie is about; there's enough folks out there doing that already. David Lynch's movies have always consisted of far more than meets the naked eye, and you can view his films one of two ways: you can either attach some meaning, some hidden premise to the thing, or two, you can let the beautiful, disturbing imagery (and his imagery truly is beautiful and disturbing) wash over you, accepting it on a purely visual level. Personally, though I don't feel one hundred percent that I "understand" this film, I know that I absolutely accept it.
