A Great Drive into Insanity.

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2015)

Mulholland Drive (2001): Dir: David Lynch / Cast: Laura Elena Harring, Naomi Watts, Justin Theroux, Melissa George, Ann Miller: Exhilarating mystery that never quite makes sense but it spellbinds and captivates with every detailed ominous moment. It is a place of fatal happening as a carload of drunken teenagers careen into a limousine with only an amnesiac actress to emerge. She stumbles into an apartment for shelter and is met with a young actress who arrived in town for an audition. Together they try to unravel a haunting case of mistaken identity, murder and madness. Complicated yet extremely clever plot full of originality and exquisite imagery. Directed by David Lynch with the same eerie affect he employed in Blue Velvet. Knockout performances by Naomi Watts who dreams of adventure and life in the Hollywood spotlight, but cannot comprehend the consequences and the reality of her fate. Laura Elena Harring plays the confused actress who possesses a mysterious box with a key. Justin Theroux plays a struggling film director given special instructions by "the Cowboy." His marriage is in shambles and he fails at everything save for instructions to hire Melissa George in a double identity success. The plot is filled with strange, fascinating characters that spark mystery. Brilliant film about the fine line the mind treads before drifting into madness. Score: 9 / 10
