David Lynch and Angelo Badalamente(who has scored
all of Lynch films since Blue Velvet) have created a
surreal masterpiece in Mulholland Drive. I caught
it in Santa Monica Friday night and cannot stop thinking about this film. In a two and half hour film Lynch has brought to the screen what Hollywood has lacked this year with the exception of "Memento", a different
method of storytelling. It feels as though I've dreamt going to see it. You could see the puzzled
movie goers walk the lobbies in a daze afterwards,
Lynch is learned not instantaneously approved, he creates dark,warm webbed sticky landscapes to crawl around in, he makes us think about who and what we are, his characters are almost ethereal, slyly ludicrous with a strange hunger/fate for the macabre. A beutiful, cinematically documented freak show.
Enough said, Go see this film, at the least there will be debate, I've yet to see a mention here about the genious that is "Corky Romano". Anybody? ha!
In closing I've include an excerpt from LA Weekly's review section as well as some "Lynchian" links:
In an essay written around the time of "Lost Highway" , David Foster Wallace neatly explained why Lynch's work is so unsettling: Unlike a normal film, a Lynch film gets under your skin because you don't know what it wants from you. It enters you like a dream.
