*********************************************************************Like so many movie-lovers around the world, we were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of filmmaker David Lynch, whose contribution to arts and culture is immeasurable. His monumentally beloved catalogue is its own impressive, cinematic legacy rich with old friends and oddball characters who make regular visits upon our silver screen. In the wake of his passing, there is no better way for us to pay tribute to his enigmatic career than by raising a glass, dimming the lights, and firing up the projector in his honour with a selection of some of his best loved works on the big screen, as he undoubtedly intended.
*********************************************************************
“Hey, pretty girl. Time to wake up.”
Lynch wrote and directed this story in the City of Dreams about two women (including Naomi Watts, in her star-making turn) who find themselves walking a fine line between truth and deception in the beautiful but dangerous netherworld of Hollywood.
Blonde Betty Elms (Watts) has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia (Laura Harring). Meanwhile, as the two set off to solve the second woman’s identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project. David Lynch’s seductive and scary vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium, a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.
With Ann Miller, Michael J. Anderson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Angelo Badalamenti, Robert Forster, Rebekah Del Rio.
“You can discover a lot about yourself by getting lost in ‘Mulholland Drive.’ It grips you like a dream that won’t let go.” (Rolling Stone)
“A bone fide masterpiece. An erotic, deeply unsettling, darkly comic journey through the subconscious city of night.” (Empire Magazine)
“Lynch gets dreams like almost no other filmmaker, because he understands that dreams are not metaphors, but irrationally assembled spaces in which we can’t help but look for symbolism and logic.” (AV Club)

MULHOLLAND DR. (David Lynch, 2001 / 147 mins / 18A) Along Mulholland Drive nothing is what it seems. In the unreal universe of Los Angeles, the city bares its schizophrenic nature, an uneasy blend of innocence and corruption, love and loneliness, beauty and depravity.

The puzzle begins to unfold, propelling us through a mysterious labyrith of sensual experiences until we arrive at the intersection of dreams and nightmares.
