Mulholland Drive

It’ll be just like the movies! We’ll pretend to be someone else. 25 years on from its iconic debut, critically acclaimed director David Lynch’s Academy Award nominated surreal neo-noir thriller MULHOLLAND DRIVE returns to cinemas for a special anniversary screening. A dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) is left amnesiac after a car crash. She wanders the streets of Los Angeles in a daze before taking refuge in an apartment. There she is discovered by Betty (Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts), a wholesome Midwestern blonde who has come to the City of Angels seeking fame as an actress. Together, the two attempt to solve the mystery of Rita's true identity. The story is set in a dream-like Los Angeles, spoilt neither by traffic jams nor smog. Featuring an all-star cast, including Emmy winner Justin Theroux, Melissa George and Billy Ray Cyrus, MULHOLLAND DRIVE explores the dark corners of the mind and heart, as well as the Hollywood dream, with Lynch's superb command of mise en scène making his images and situations their own reward, rendering even the simplest gesture creepy and imbuing any innocence with evil.
