A FLAWLESS MASTERPIECE

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2002)

Contains SPOILER:
"Mulholland Dr" is definitely the greatest film ever made. The dialogue is brilliant, witty, ironic. The cinematography is gorgeous. The music is eerie, creepy, haunting. The cast is perfect, especially Naomi Watts delivers a technically dazzling performance. The plot is complex, original, bizarre yet utterly meaningful. "Mulholland Dr" left me reeling after the first viewing. It is too clever and intricate that for the first time in my life, my brain really got hurt ( even Memento is a much easier film ). After each viewing, I discover the deeper messages, metaphors and meanings of the film. Superficially, Hollywood is spectacular, adorable but behind it, it is a nasty, ugly and contemptible place. Maybe the world is just an illusion that someday we would try to escape the pain by living in our fantasy like what Diane did.
David Lynch is truly ingenious, the best director working today ( I must confess that I'm quite obsessed with him ). Believe me, "Mulholland Drive" will be regarded a classic over the time.
