Another masterpiece from David Lynch

Glamour, struggle, nudity, revenge and a pursuit to find the truth. Mullholland Drive has got everything that a thriller based in hollywood should have but it is unlike any movie anyone has ever seen.

After getting involved in a car wreck Rita loses her memory. She then teams up with Betty( Naomi Watts), a wannabe actress, in search of clues to get her memory back. The movie is obscure with random characters popping out in scenes where you have no idea what's going on, but David Lynch does enough to keep the audience interested throughout by the brilliant twist of mysticism. You just know that there is a twist at the end but I can bet my soul that the smartest of the smart movie-watchers won't be able to predict the twist.

David Lynch shows his genius by the way he misleads his audience throughout the movie. In a certain scene he directly asks the audience not to believe what they see and even then everybody is deceived. Powerful performances from Naomi Watts, Laura Helling and Justin Theroux and the absurd characters make it a entertaining watch.

To be totally honest not everyone is going to like this movie. Not everyone is even going to understand the movie but if you're a person who likes a movie that compels you to think, a person that enjoys allegories then this is just the movie for you. Mullholland Drive is a masterpiece in the sense that it is very unlikely that two persons will derive the same conclusion after watching the movie as it varies with the variation of people's perspectives
