Mullholland Drive - 2 Disc Special Edition

The cinematography is both hypnotic and surreal

Film Review by Julie Paterson | 11 Apr 2007
Film title: Mullholland Drive - 2 Disc Special Edition
Release date: 30 April.
David Lynch's psychological thriller remains a cult classic, blurring the edges between the conscious and subconscious, reality and dreams. Gripping from the opening sequence, we follow aspiring movie star Betty (Naomi Watts) attempting to help a woman who is suffering from amnesia (Laura Harring) as a result of a car crash. Several seemingly unrelated stories thread alongside the central plot, revealing their significance as the film progresses and successfully displacing conventional narrative. The cinematography is both hypnotic and surreal and attempting to unravel the meaning behind the complex narrative and the kaleidoscope of images is intrinsic to the film's appeal. However, to over-analyse may also be to miss the point: this is a film that will mean different things to different people. However, one thing is certain - Mullholland Drive continues to be an essential film for anyone's collection. Extras in this two disc special edition include 'the making of', exclusive interviews, Cannes press conference and trailers. [Julie Paterson]
