Compelling but intentionally inscrutable return of the "weird" David Lynch that will please his hardcore fans even if it has them scratching their heads as well.
Full reviewAfter the pleasant, heart-warming diversion that was 1999's The Straight Story, David Lynch, weaver of the alluring nightmare, unveiled his most disconcerting film yet in 2001. In a star-making performance, Naomi Watts played a young ingénue who comes to Hollywood with big dreams, and encounters... um, let's say "the stuff dreams are made of". The plot resisted explanation beyond that, but what followed was one the scariest, sexiest and dread-inducing films of the decade. A treatise on Hollywood's tendency to crush young souls? An unrestrained journey into a lurid, jealous mind? Or simply a tender, tragic love story between two women? Whatever the case, it was damn good cinema.
Compelling but intentionally inscrutable return of the "weird" David Lynch that will please his hardcore fans even if it has them scratching their heads as well.
Full reviewDespite too many detours into nonsensical narrative cul-de-sac... this works well enough as unsettlingly nightmarish suspense.
Full reviewIts investigation into the power of movies pierces a void from which you can hear the screams of a ravenous demon whose appetites can never be slaked.
Full reviewA bone fide masterpiece. An erotic, deeply unsettling, darkly comic journey through the subconscious city of night.
Full reviewSure, you might not buy it, you may still decide Mulholland Drive is drivel, but it's beautifully elegant drivel.
