Mulholland Drive

Part of our David Lynch Season. Introduced by Depot Chair of Trustees, Robert Senior. Followed by a free Cinema's of the Mind discussion in our studio.

A dark-haired woman is left amnesiac after a car crash. She wanders the streets of Los Angeles in a daze before taking refuge in an apartment.

There she is discovered by Betty, a wholesome Midwestern blonde who has come to the City of Angels seeking fame as an actress.

Together, the two attempt to solve the mystery of Rita's true identity. The story is set in a dream-like Los Angeles, spoilt neither by traffic jams nor smog.

'The movie is a surrealist dreamscape in the form of a Hollywood film noir, and the less sense it makes, the more we can't stop watching it... This is a movie to surrender yourself to' - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
