Mulholland Dr.
Doppelgangers, dream imagery and loose ends blend in David Lynch's modern classic, starring Naomi Watts.
- 29 Feb 20:10 NFT1 not available online
After The Straight Story, Lynch returned to more familiar subject matter. Betty (Watts), a plucky aspiring actress, and Rita (Harring), a mysterious amnesiac who has stumbled from a car crash with several thousand dollars in her purse, search LA for clues to Rita's identity. Dense with his customary doppelgangers, dream imagery and loose ends, Lynch's film has an extra melancholic fascination with the destructive power of erotic desire.
