David Lynch Triumphs Again!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2001)

I saw "Mulholland Drive" for the first time last night, and I loved it. The only thing I didn't like about it was that once it ended, I wanted more! I really like the characters, shots, and music. This another example of David Lynch's beautiful filmwork. Betty & Rita work well together. As my wife said this morning, if you like David Lynch, you'll love this movie - if you don't like his previous work, don't see this. I'm a big fan of all things Lynch, and she isn't really. I'm going to see the film again on Friday. Starting Friday, it's running here for a week. I'm going to try to see it as many times as I can while it's here! This is definitely another Lynch film that's not spelled out for you. I don't believe you can fully understand everything that happened in one viewing, or the connections between all characters. Everyone was wonderful in this film, and I applaud David Lynch. I'd like to see more of this material on the eventual DVD. Since it was originally shot as a pilot, I hope that leaves room for more new footage to eventually see the light of day in a DVD or sequel film release. I felt the film flowed nicely and didn't necessarily reflect any indication of it's being shot as a pilot for television. Amazing. Where can I pre-order a DVD?!? : ) 5 Star Film. See it.
