A bizarre and thrilling ride through Hollywood

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2005)

Muholland Drive is the kind of movie that everyone has a separate opinion about. It is a journey into the psyche of dreams, where we can live out our fantasies and deepest desires, only to awaken to harsh reality. It is up to the viewer to interpret that dream and attach some meaning to it.
The plot revolves around Betty, an aspiring actress in her attempt to rise to Hollywood stardom and her friendship to Camilla, another actress. As Camilla rises to stardom, her friendship with the struggling Betty begins to deteriorate. Finally, Betty decides to have Camilla killed.
David Lynch is known for the strange and disturbing imagery he places withing his films, but this is one of the few in which they all come together to make a fantastic film. Muholland Drive evokes a Hollywood in which creepy cowboys rule over the movie industry and demons live behind restaurants. Its a bizarre and thrilling ride through the city of dreams.
