A unique cinematic experience.

Rating: Null/10 (23 September 2004)

David Lynch's Mulholland Drive is a film that is extremely difficult to categorize. In a way, it should not be categorized, because Lynch's work is not suited for any type of label, rather they truly are a league all of their own.
Mulholland Drive is a truly enigmatic trip into the darker recesses of the human psyche that will both enchant and confuse. Taking all the usual Lynchian trademarks, the eerie score, the mise en scene, the assemblage of weird characters and combining them with a plot that can only be described as ethereal.
The scenario of Mulholland Drive can be best described as two women who have met by a twist of fate, one an amnesiac, the other a house sitter, trying to unravel the identity and circumstances of the former. All the while a young Hollywood director is being harassed and intimidated into recasting his movie in a subplot that may or may not be related. How will it all fall in to place?
While Mulholland Drive may be very slow paced, the air of mystery nonetheless adds to the excitement. Not only do we have the weird Lynchian visuals, we also have the appearance of some undesirable producer/gangster brothers, one of which has a strange taste in espressos, and a bizarre and enigmatic character known only as The Cowboy.
To enjoy Mulholland Drive all that is required is an open mind. Watch the movie without any fore drawn conclusions or expectations, and you will surely be impressed. To those who like a sense of enigma and mystery, you will love it and want to watch it again and again. A truly unique masterpiece.
