Back To Index Mulholland Dr.
 Barnes & Noble Dreams of Hollywood stardom become nightmares in Mulholland Dr., a masterful psychological thriller from David Lynch. Newcomer Naomi Watts gives a breakout performance as an aspiring young actress whose friendship with a mysterious, voluptuously beautiful brunette amnesiac (Laura Elena Harring) evolves into something much more. The pairs search for Harring’s identity becomes the films main story line, but its flanked by several obliquely connected subplots, all set against the backdrop of a Hollywood rife with Lynchs typically surreal quotient of freaks and weirdos, enigmatic cabals, and obscure conspiracies. The unraveling of the films central mystery eventually dissolves the very fabric of screen reality, allowing a dark truth to gradually emerge. Its all mind-bending, to say the least, and consummately eerie, yet leavened by Lynchs trademark offbeat humor. Watts is nothing short of perfection: Her young, would-be starlet is sexy, eager to please, vulnerable, and afflicted with the kind of curiosity that kills cats -- qualities that make the Sapphic love story at the heart of the film both moving and intensely erotic. Lynchs longtime collaborator Angelo Badalamenti contributes a haunting score that works in tandem with an unnerving tapestry of aural textures to accentuate the aura of subliminal menace. But it’s the unique structure, in which conventional narrative progression is entirely replaced by dream logic, that the film achieves an almost psychedelic potency. Mulholland Dr. may have echoes of Lynch’s Lost Highway and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me but this modern masterpiece is in a genre all its own.
