Synopsis

This is the David Lynch of Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet - The Straight Story it is not. Originally intended for a TV series, it has the feel of a series where you are drawn along by a sequence of events. However, to even try to give an outline of the story would be futile. Think of the film as a dream. Dreams don't have plots, aren't easily explainable, don't necessarily have complete sequences and may not connect with each other. You know the difficulty you have when trying to explain one - even more so if you begin: "Last night I had the weirdest dream…" This is that weirdest dream.

Wonderfully stylish, and a score by Angelo Badalamenti, Mulholland Drive is truly original and one-of-a-kind.

Winner, Best Director, Cannes 2001
