the ultimate drive

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2003)

"Mulholland Drive" man, one of the greatest movie experiences of my life. Perfect from the beginning till the very end. I can now completely forgive David Lynch for "Lost Highway;" he's redeemed himself.

I don't think that there is a way to explain in one sentence what this movie is about, but let me try. The closest to "MD" movie is "Jacob's Ladder" and to lesser degree "Vanilla Sky." What those movies have in common is that all of them depict a dream and like in real dream nothing can be explained, the sequences do not complete each other, the dream just wanders over what it finds fascinating, leaving the unpromising stories and characters behind. It's all about imagination. But if I have to talk about something real that would be about the two women in this movie. Astonishing. Both of them, but I would like to comment on Laura Harring's performance. She was the ultimate outcast in the first part and the classical "femme fatal" in the second half. I am speechless. And of course nothing would've been complete without Lynch's perfect cinematography.
This movie is definitely in my top 10 list. And again, it isn't about understanding it is about entertainment. This movie entertained me a lot. I love it. 10 stars out of 10.
