When you start to watch this you
have no idea what you’re getting yourself in to. It’s like this ‘Inception’
where there is a dream inside a dream. But here you really cannot explain it
that easily. Was it a dream or was it some bizarre sequence of events that took
place for real is one of the biggest questions the viewer left out with. And trust
me the questions do not end there. If you get together in a group and watch
this one time you will hear many contradicting theories of what went down. But
none maybe what’s ‘really’ gone down. There are numerous clues, twists and
subtle glimpses of things which the viewer may not be able to explain in one
go. This quality makes Mulholland Drive one of the trickiest and mind frying
movie experiences ever.
Performance wise it’s brilliant.
Watts deliver a strong performance along with other supporting roles. The
thrills, suspense and even sex are equally powerful and grab the viewer from
the spinal code just when you don’t expect it. When the movie hits the somewhat
separately noticeable second half all the theories the viewer had about the
first half is ruthlessly destroyed. And to make it worse a fresh set of mind
boggling mysteries takes its place. If you find yourself stunned or lost or
even angry when the end titles rolling, remember this crucial truth. You are
not alone!
Mulholland Drive (2001) Rating –
