Mulholland Dr.
Dir: David Lynch
USA/France, 2001, English, 147mins, DCP
Cast: Naomi Watts, Laura Elena Harring, Justin Theroux, Robert Forster
Widely regarded as Lynch’s crowning cinematic achievement, for which he was named Best Director at Cannes and earned his third Oscar nomination, Mulholland Dr. is a genre-defying masterpiece – part Hollywood fairytale, part neo-noir thriller – enveloped in a suffocating nightmare of split identities and fractured reality. Naomi Watts gives the performance of her career as Betty, the small-town beauty in search of her big break, who becomes embroiled in a dizzying mystery when she crosses paths with an amnesiac femme fatale. By turns funny, sensual, perplexing and deeply disturbing, Lynch has never captured the elusive insanity of the human experience more perfectly.
