Lynch's wonderland

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

If you have not viewed any of David Lynch's past work (e.g Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Blue Velvet, etc.), you might have a difficult time following Mulholland Drive. People generally tend to either love Lynch's movies or they hate them. If you don't have the stomach for a movie with lots of symbolism, metaphors, allegorical elements, etc., then I would stay away from MD. On the other hand, if you like a movie that forces you to exercise your mind, develop your own theories, opens the door wide for interpretation, and leaves you wondering about what it really means for days, then MD is probably going to be your cup of tea. Just keep in mind that nothing is as it really seems--then again, maybe it is.
