Mullholland Drive

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2006)

I first heard of this film at number 44 on The 100 Greatest Sexy Moments because of the lesbian scene (and Jeff Goldblum gave his opinion on it), and then I heard it was a film from Oscar and Golden Globe nominated director David, and it is a very good one. It is after a concert that the two main characters go to where I can't understand what is going on. The story before that is that Rita (Laura Elena Harring) having a car crash in Mullholland Drive (Hollywood), and for some reason before she was pointed at with a gun. She has quite serious amnesia, and she spends the night in a house that Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) was borrowing from her aunt. It is pretty gripping as they try and discover who she used to be, and they form a close bond, that soon turns to a true love lesbian relationship. The other story going on, although not that interesting, is film director Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) having problems with a film. After that concert I mentioned they change their names for some reason, Watts is Diane Selwyn and Harring I can't remember, but this part aside, the rest is a must see. Also starring Ann Miller as Catherine 'Coco' Lenoix and Jackie Brown's Robert Forster as Detective Harry McKnight. It won the BAFTA for Best Editing, and it was nominated for the Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music for Angelo Badalamenti, and it was nominated the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Original Score and Best Screenplay. It was number 38 on Film 4's 50 Films To See Before You Die. Very good!
