Mulholland Dr. (2001)

"No hay banda! There is no band. It is all... a tape recording"
When I first began watching Mulholland Drive almost a 11 months ago, I had no David Lynch experience, so I really didn't know what to expect. What I got 147 minutes later was a mix of depression, confusion, amazement, fright, disturbia, trippiness, and the feeling that I had watched something I never seen before! I was a bit confused, but 3 days later, I watched it and finally got it.

Mulholland Drive is a great movie on all levels. It's multi-facted, multi-layered, and very mind-challenging.

So in the beginning we see a bunch of people dancing, and a shot of a pillow, we hear swing music in the dancing scene and someone heavily breathing in the pillow shot. We dissolve and come back out to a woman riding a limo. Who is she? Why is she on Mulholland Drive? We see that the two drivers are hitmen, and will kill her if she doesn't come out of the car. Then the car crashes, and this woman survives.

So to the plot: In one world, a woman wakes up with no memory from the night before, and a woman named Betty comes to the house she wakes up in to look after it. Betty meets this woman, who calls herself Rita after a poster she sees. They try to uncover her identity.

Now another world: Depressed Diane Selwyn is having a horrible life. Her lesbian(?) lover Camilla Rhodes is cheating on her with the director of a movie she's in, and Diane wants Camilla dead.

MD is a very great movie, with a somwehat very deep meaning and is very frightening, hot, thrilling, and if you look into it: fun.

Watch this movie, and have a blast!

Befuddled
I've seen this movie 6 times over the years and ordered it to show some friends and family.

It's a fantastic movie, well done in every aspect; It's a mystery within a mystery within another mystery (or two!) so get ready to blow your mind, I still haven't even come close to figuring it out even with the 10 point list (clues) that accompany the DVD. It's so complicated that one internet synopsis I read was several pages, probably more printed words than the total movie dialogue; Get ready for a challange and good luck!
