Review # 400 : GORGEOUS. DARK. SURREAL. MULHOLLAND DR. IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITES.

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2019)

My Rating : 10/10 ♠ MASTERPIECE ♠
Mulholland Dr. is PERFECT Lynch.
There is a beauty in the first viewing and an ugliness in the second. There's a LOT open to interpret here and that is the point of the film, according to me - for the viewer to have infinite interpretations simultaneously.
So here's what I thought of it.
Some of David Lynch's personal favourite movies are Sunset Blvd. (his #1) and Persona. I think the movie explores the fantasies of a young woman trapped by the illusions and grandeur of Hollywood - the glamour, the fame, the magic of the silver screen - she dreams and hopes to become a movie star some day.
All of her dreams unfortunately are destroyed because it's a cut-throat world and she can't fulfil her big fantasy so she dreams up an even bigger nightmare to overshadow the fantasy.
OR it's a movie within a movie about two women and the end is a wrap-up party.
It's a Möbius-Strip and a must-watch for lovers of psychological movies.
