Another ride down Lynch highway

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2001)

Lost Highway runs into Mulholland Drive: This movie is just as ambiguous, frustrating, and occasionally hypnotic as Lost Highway, which was one of the few films I've seen that I could not talk about without seeing again. The same may apply to Mulholland Drive. Is a movie successful if you have to see it twice to "get it?" There is a lot more humor in the new film, and it doesn't seem to be as hard on its female characters (relatively speaking, of course, as this is a David Lynch movie). I suppose this is one of those movies that can be interpreted on many different levels. I found myself squirming by the final half hour yet I could not stop thinking about it for the next several hours. And that haunting soundtrack is staying with me. Recommended? Not sure....I need to get the strength up to see it again (which may take a few years).
