Mulholland Drive is one of those movies you either love or hate, you are either on the left side of the road or the right side with this movie. Although I am not too sure what exactly the movie is about, theories include explanations like dream sequences, a commentary on Hollywood and some very strange conclusions that I even find too weird. But apart from all of that, my love for this movie does not go away.
Naomi Watts who plays the lead character is brilliant in this movie and of course it is brilliantly directed by David Lynch. Mulholland Drive shows that not every aspect and plot twist should be spelled out for the audience in order to make a great movie. Or even that not everything should mean one thing, the viewer can make their own personal connotation to the storyline. The turns that the storyline takes will keep you guessing long after watching the movie. Maybe I love it as much as I do because of the fact that one of my favourite genres is film noir, or maybe because Naomi Watts is so damn good in it.
But as I said before, you will either completely love it and think David Lynch is a genius, or you will feel like you have just been robbed of 2 hours of your life that you will never get back.
Enjoy the ride:
