We celebrate the late great David Lynch's life with his "Mulholland Drive" (2001)
"The movie is a surrealist dreamscape in the form of a Hollywood film noir, and the less sense it makes, the more you can't stop watching it. It's the story of... well, there's no way to finish that sentence."
"This is a movie to surrender yourself to. If you require logic, see something else"

Our 21st Century Cult series moves along with Mulholland Drive, David Lynch’s 2001 neo-noir mystery!
Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a hopeful actress newly arrived in Los Angeles, discovers a woman (Laura Harring) with amnesia hiding in her aunt’s apartment. The two women set out to uncover the mystery of the stranger’s identity, leading them through a labyrinth of cryptic clues, sinister characters, and dark Hollywood secrets. As their investigation deepens, the narrative becomes increasingly disjointed, reflecting Lynch’s signature exploration of subconscious fears and desires.
With its haunting atmosphere, fragmented storytelling, and an unsettling score, Mulholland Drive is widely considered a masterpiece of psychological horror and ambiguity, earning Lynch an Academy Award nomination for Best Director and gaining a reputation as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
