Absolutely awesome trip

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2008)

The first time I watched this movie I was 18 years old. The film had just been released and it was my first contact with the universe of Lynch. Couldn't have started better. I went to the cinema with my friends. We all got trapped by the story. Though I really enjoyed the projection, I couldn't state to be satisfied with the result when I left the room. For me, it had been a non-sense plot. My friends and I spent more than an hour trying to construct a solid theory about the movie. It didn't work. However, something curious happened to me the following days. The more I thought of Mulholland Dr. the more I felt it was a masterpiece. Once I watched the movie one more time, all my doubts were wiped away. Several theories have been developed since this film was released. I'm not going to discuss here what the argument is about or the conclusions. My advice: watch it and let yourself go. Lynch will take you to a fantastic trip and if you really want to enjoy it, stop wondering what is going on. This film is about senses and for the senses, images trap the viewer and take him/her through the world of dreams, fears, nightmares and illusions. The scene at the Silencio Club is basically pure visual poetry that escapes from the screen and makes you feel pity, hurt, uncomfortable and humbled. In conclusion, don't insist on trying to understand 100% the movie. There will be time to think once you recover from the ride. Simply, one of the best movies ever made.
