Sometimes it's better not to dream...

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2003)

Mulholland Drive, a film by David Lynch which was made to play with the viewer mind and let him make his owns conclusions about the story. I now I had many ideas of what the movie talked about, until I heard other people opinions.
Spoiler: Some disturbing images, as the monster that haunts the guy from the restaurant and the rotting corpse in room 17. Well made make-up. I didn't liked the acting, it seem a little flawless, though Naomi Watts tried her best. I think she was better in "The Ring". Laura Harring was mediocre, the only thing I appreciated in her was her beauty. One thing about Watts and Harding was the fact that they had the courage to do that lesbian scene, but that comes with the job. Justin Theroux starred as the director who became broke, so to speak.
Lynch alternated the time course of the movie, which made people a little bit confused. He said that the movie makes sense, that the clues are there to see. I know now what he meant. I guess Lynch just wanted to test the mind of the viewer. After you see it sometimes it will all become clear.
Like "Jacob's Ladder", at first it doesn't make sense, requiring multiple viewings, and I think it has a little bit of "Memento" too, as it goes back in time. The only of it's kind in 2001, Mulholland Drive is a jolting experience that will stay on your mind until you discover it's true meaning.
9 out of 10.
