A surrealistic painting from a 21th century master

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2002)

Mulholland Drive is a painting and as with every painting, every viewer can have his own interpretation. About 2/3 of the movie gives you a realistic picture about what it all about (both reality and dream), the rest is "what you see is what you get". The acting of both actresses is superb, especially Naomi Watts in her double role as both Betty and Diane. *** Possible spoilers *** My 1/3 for what is worth: THE OLD COUPLE- Betty´s parents (pushing her in the Hollywood dream world) THE COWBOY- An excuse for the director´s choice of Camilla. THE BLOND CAMILLA- Betty. LAST 1/3 - Reality. FIRST 2/3 - Betty´s dream (her reality and excuse before she kills herself). THE MOB - An excuse for the director´s choice of Camilla.
Overall 10/10, a master piece and Lynch best
