Mulholland Drive Storyline

Successful Hollywood movie director Adam Kesher is facing problems in both his personal and professional life. His wife is openly cheating on him, she kicking him out of their house in the Hollywood hills. For his latest film, he is being threatened to cast the female lead with the actress of “their” choice, that actress who he will only know at the time she auditions, he facing unknown but severe consequences by the unknown forces backing her if he doesn’t comply. Meanwhile, wide-eyed Betty Elms has just arrived in Hollywood from her home in Canada to begin an acting career, she staying at her Aunt Ruth’s apartment while Aunt Ruth, who also works in the business, is away on a film shoot. Initially believing she a friend of Aunt Ruth’s, Betty discovers a young woman in the apartment, she, calling herself Rita, suffering from amnesia and just taking refuge in the empty apartment in seeing Aunt Ruth leave. They come to the belief that Rita has suffered a concussion most likely from a vehicle accident that took place along nearby Mulholland Drive. From what they discover in Rita’s purse which precludes them from involving anyone else least of all the police, Betty decides to help Rita discover who she really is. When Betty and Rita stumble across a dead body in following the leads, Adam, Betty and Rita’s collective stories begin to merge and take on surreal qualities, however the direction of that surrealism arguably backward and not forward.

Mulholland Drive Movie Reviews

Speachless

This was my first David Lynch film and it left me completely stunned and amazed. You will have to come up with your own interpretation of the movie and that changed my view on movies and art as a whole. Recommended for everyone who wishes to see something truly unique and interesting.

One of David Lynch’s best and one of the best of the decade- not for all tastes though

I found Mulholldand Drive to be a fantastic film, having loved all of David Lynch’s films seen personally so far (personal favourite being The Elephant Man, one of the most emotionally affecting films ever made) with the exception of Dune. For this viewer, Mulholland Drive is one of Lynch’s best films and among the best films of the 2000s, but it is also one of Lynch’s most love-it-or-hate-it films- from a love/hate him director- as seen in the reviews here. And it is very understandable why people would dislike it, it is weird (not unusual for Lynch), it is slow, the story mayn’t be clear to some, the symbolism may go over people’s heads and it does get confusing especially towards the end. And it has nothing to do with not getting it, it is just not for everybody’s tastes and not everybody is going to connect with it. For those who love it neither of these are problems, admittedly it is a good idea to be acquainted with Lynch’s style beforehand so that it doesn’t come across as too much of a shock and also to watch it more than once. Justifying what was so great about Mulholland Drive, a good place to start would be the visuals, which are never less than scintillating with bold colours, symbolic imagery and some of the most striking cinematography of any film from this decade. The Silencio Club scene is so beautifully shot. The haunting retro score, thought-provoking dialogue and that it contains some of Lynch’s finest direction and the best directing of all the films from 2001 are further things to like. The story is where those who dislike it are perplexed, granted there may be too many plot strands crammed in towards the end and not everybody’s going to like how the ending is open to interpretation, but with me the thriller-drama story was gripping and I was captivated so much by the surrealist atmosphere, offbeat emotional intensity and sizzling suspense that the slow pacing didn’t feel slow at all. It wisely focused on the relationship between Watts and Harring, and while bizarre it was very well handled. The cast carry the film brilliantly, especially with the sensational lead performance of Naomi Watts who has never been better than here. Laura Harring is enchanting and Justin Theroux is very good. In conclusion, while not for everybody’s tastes for understandable (and quite obvious) reasons Mulholland Drive was fantastic in all areas. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Not the sort of film I enjoy watching

Like INLAND EMPIRE, MULHOLLAND DRIVE is an obtuse and mysterious exercise in film-making from director David Lynch. Like INLAND EMPIRE, it’s an abstract mood piece, a bizarre mystery that asks the viewer to do plenty in working out the meaning of clues and seemingly random moments in an effort to build a picture from one big puzzle. Like INLAND EMPIRE, I hated it.

When I sit down to watch a movie, I like linear storytelling and concrete detail. I don’t like odd things that have no explanation and are present for the sake of merely being arty. MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a slow and long-winded narrative about a couple of women exploring a strange and skewed world. The Hollywood setting allows Lynch some self-referential themes, but I found the whole thing a big turn-off, not least the bland performances from Naomi Watts and Jeanne Bates. The ending, when it hits, offers a disappointing twist which rounds off the production quite aptly.
