Rita: “What are you doing? We don’t stop here.”
Some of the many reasons for you to see Mulholland Drive (or to see it again!) –
- Chosen by “Les Cahiers du Cinéma” as the best picture of the decade (2010)
- Coco’s (Ann Miller) story about the kangaroo
- Adam Kesher’s (Justin Theroux) demonstration of how to smash a limousine with a golf club
- Lorraine and the pool cleaner getting their comeuppance
- Joe the hitman looking for a black address book
- Betty’s audition
- the tenderness of the relationship between naive and optimistic Betty (Naomi Watts) and the beautiful and confused Rita (Laura Elena Harring)
- Rebekah Del Rio singing “Llorando”
- the Mulholland Drive dinner party
- and of course to explore the surreal logic behind clues ranging from a pillow, name badges, the blue box, and red lampshades, to a cowboy hat and the piano-shaped ashtray.
Director, David Lynch, described the film as “A love story in the city of dreams”.
All in all, Mulholland Drive is a great feast for the imagination, and one which will stay with you.
