Mulholland Drive
“An actress longing to be a star. A woman searching for herself. Both worlds will collide... on Mulholland Drive.”

Plot
In Hollywood, an aspiring actress, Betty, finds a woman with amnesia in her aunt's apartment, and the two try to discover the woman's identity. Their investigation leads to a mystery that dissolves into dream and nightmare. David Lynch's 2001 film, with Naomi Watts and Laura Harring, has a puzzling structure that has inspired many interpretations, and was voted one of the greatest films of the twenty-first century.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lynch's dreamlike Hollywood nightmare begins as a mystery and dissolves into something stranger. Naomi Watts is superb, and the film resists a single reading, which is part of its pull.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
