David Lynch's greatest film, a triumph on everyone's behalf, one of the best films of 2001.

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2010)

Director/creator David Lynch is a genius. This is the man who did The Elephant man, Dune(which I never saw but heard it was disgusting), and created Twin Peaks.After years, it took David Lynch to come up with something extraordinary. Something that you'll never see. A force and film like no other.
That film is Mulholland Dr. Mulholland Dr. is a movie like no other. It is very intriguing, at time funny, very weird, and very entertaining and very interesting. Though some of the plot elements don't make a lot of sense, no other film director could conjure something like this. Genius like this.
Laura Harring plays an actress who is in her limo on Mulholland Dr. when she gets into a car accident. She soon gets amnesia. She meets Betty(played by Naomi Watts), a chipper wannabe actress who tries to help her find out who she is.
Meanwhile, Justin Theroux plays a film director who is told that he has to cast a nobody for the leading part in his new film. There is lots of other stuff going on too. People are looking for Harring's character.
Well, that is what you think the plot is about. It is kind of, but the real plot doesn't kick in until the last half hour. Nothing and nobody is what it seems as you find out in this film. When I say nobody, I mean it.
In the climax, some of the plot elements come together. Some of them don't though and you don't understand some of them either. But you can forgive Lynch, because deep down you know that what he has written is just too smart for us.
The performances are good. My favorite is from Justin Theroux(Theroux who wrote Iron man 2 and Tropic thunder). This is such a good film. It's a film that you have to watch over and over and over again, and though you may not get it, it gets more fun as you watch it.
The film is also at times erotic. There is a lesbian thing going on between Watts and Harring. Watts is also very good in this film. This is Lynch's best film ,without a doubt. It's his most interesting, his most original, and though it clocks in at about 2 hours and 20 minutes, every minute is engaging. Don't worry about the length. It doesn't matter here. This is an amazing movie. One of the best films of 2001, and the best film in everyone's career.
Mulholland Dr.:A+
