In Reply to: Just saw David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive"... posted by darkmoebius on December 23, 2001 at 14:49:08:
That's a shame. I've been expecting quite a bit from this one, especially after 'Lost Highway' which in Rob's book of good movies was a very good movie.Besides, Lynch likes Rammstein.

... and make up your mind about it. I disagree with what darkmoebius says about the film. I think it's a masterpiece, right up there with Blue Velvet. The man has evolved, and I think his path through Lost Highway and Straight Story was meant to land smack on Mulholland Drive. I loved puzzling about it afterwards and discussing it with friends, something Memento failed to do. I still don't think we have it all straight, but I think we're close!
I'm a big fan of Lynch's better films and such high hopes for it following all the glowing reviews. "Blue Velvet" was surreal, sensual, dangerous, and thrilling at the same time. All of those factors worked together seamlessly to create a cinematic atmosphere that had never been seen before. "Mullholland" has flashes of that, but the rest doesn't seem to jell.It's not a horrible film, just unnecessarily long and unfocused. It will leave you thinking for hours(or days)afterwards. In fact, it takes a while to put all the pieces together in order to figure out what really happened.
I guess a good summation would be that I really don't know whether to recommend the film to friends or not, it could go either way. Unlike "Blue Velvet", which I knew I could remcommend to everyone.
Well dark one, I will go for it as soon as it's in the cinema here. It has been a long time I could think for days about a movie, which to me usually is a good sign:-)Thanks,
Rob
It's long, but the more I discuss it with others, the better it gets.
