I have to be honest. I was a cheerleader for the Mulholland Drive project ever since I went to the advertising upfronts at ABC and didn't see it on the fall schedule. From that moment on, I knew David Lynch had something special. This surprised me, I actually think it's brilliant and wonderful.
David Lynch is an acquired taste for some, including me. I saw "Eraserhead" on a VHS at a party in High School and I couldn't "get it" to save my life. Then David Lynch did other projects which I couldn't understand for the life of me. "Mulholland Drive" I understood completely only watching the film once and boy was I surprised.
The casting is perfect, I loved EVERYONE and this film makes Naomi Watts (Betty) an actress to watch in the future. I am not going to provide any spoilers here for this is a film that those who can identify, will, those who cannot wont. Some will get bogged down in details that aren't that important and miss the point completely. Just know, it contains alot of the "David Lynch" touches..the weird, the insane and the wonderful, but this time, I actually understood it!
This is a film for all of those actors/actress who ever had a "Hollywood" stardom dream....that eventually turned into reality... and the cost of that burst dream as you were caught up in the trappings of it all. Fantastic film for David Lynch, just fantastic. ...."Silencio"....
