Mulholland Drive is my favorite film from one of my favorite directors. It’s a film that rewards the dedicated viewer. First, by confusing them and making one think about what the hell is going on. Later, once you have figured out the structure of the film and what the second half means to the first, there is still so much the film has to offer. It’s culmination of all of David Lynch’s sundry obsessions and themes, a tragic tale of the Hollywood meat grinder as filtered through the lens of nostalgia and affection for that very same meat grinder.

Excellent. This is more right-on than anything I’ve heard or read before about Mulholland Dr.

Thanks. It’s a film that means a lot to me, and that doesn’t always translate into being able to communicate effectively or string together a decent article.
