Mulholland Drive is a surreal thriller experience.

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2016)

Mulholland Drive takes us deep into the depths of psychological depression and madness. It is actually creepy at times, using supernatural and distorted elements as symbolism to some things these characters are doing. It is a type that doesn't follow the general, simple plot and personally requires more than one viewing in order to understand what the director truly wanted to convey and portray in this film.
What I love about David Lynch's directing is the ambiguity and mysteriousness that comes along with it. As I mentioned earlier, this is a mind bending experience and you really have to think about it. If you think that the story is only about Harring's character having amnesia and meeting with Watts and them figuring out who Harring's real identity is, then I think we watched two different films. I have 10+ interpretations/theories on what's actually going on beneath the surface of this film, and I love how Lynch doesn't spoon feed us with all the facts and leaves us to think; it's all very thought provoking.
In the first viewing, things may actually be quite confusing. There are a lot of characters introduced with different roles and even more in the second half of the film. So it will be quite hard to adjust at first with the multiple story lines but as you watch more of it things will start falling into the correct puzzle pieces and that will make you internally scream at your head.
Overall, Mulholland Drive is a surreal experience. It enjoys playing with the unknown and the viewers might have a fun time trying to guess out what's really happening. The Silencio club scene with Del Rio singing might be one of the most haunting and depressing song sequences I've seen in movies. A great thriller, bordering on creepy sometimes; I highly recommend it.
