Still packs a punch

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2005)

I've read so many comments from people who do not understand the plot line of this film. Most of Mulholland Drive is a fantasy/dream sequence. Watch Lost Highway and then get back to me on a tough to follow plot line. :) Lynch's portrayal of an emotionally broken down woman who has lost herself in a failed attempt to pursue her dreams is amazing. Watts is perfect for the role - - - she contrasts her character's self-perceived bubblegum dream facade with her character's broken-down reality wonderfully. Laura Harring was also equally perfectly cast for her dual roles in the film. Rumor has it that on the way to meet Lynch for the first time, Harring got in a serious car accident. Must have been fate. If you are interested in poppy, useless Hollywood fair, don't bother watching this film. If you like challenging cinema, there's no movie better.
