Mulholland Drive
2001
*****
Director: David Lynch
Cast: Naomi Watts, Laura Elena Harring, Justin Theroux, Ann Miller
After his most accessible film, The Straight Story, David Lynch delivers a brilliant Lynchian mindbender and probably his finest work. This stylish and atmopheric mystery deals with the conflict between dreams and reality. In her stunning breakthrough performance, Naomi Watts plays an aspiring actress who arrives in Hollywood and ends up helping an amnesiac retrace her identity. This haunting puzzle left me wonderfully unsettled.
