So far best in 2001

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2001)

It would normally be disappointing to see that David Lynch is back to his usual style after making The Straight Story, which is his best movie so far. It would be disappointing if it wasn't for the fact that he has made a "Lynch movie" better than any other "Lynch movie". Mulholland Drive can in many ways be compared to Lost Highway (1997), but Lynch has refined his style since then and presents a much more satisfying film this time. I am not a fan of confusing films. This film is as confusing as they come, and still I absolutely loved it. This is not a movie you have to fully understand to enjoy, as every scene and every character boils with entertainment. There have been speculations from prominent film critics that the film cannot be understood; that it is merely a dreamlike mix of scenes. I do not share this view as I believe I understood most of the basics of the film, but it is definitely a film one can re-view a few times.
