Film: Mulholland Drive
Presented at AFI Silver Theater

Mulholland Drive
Mon, Mar 31, 7:00 pm; Wed, Apr 2, 9:00 pm

Amnesiac actress Laura Elena Harring wanders into Hollywood-hopeful Naomi Watts's apartment after surviving an assassination attempt with no recollection of who tried to kill her or why. Playing detective, the two discover some shady doings in the movie biz, a volcanic attraction to one another, and the idea that they may just be two characters in someone else's dream. In many ways the culmination of Lynch's oeuvre, masterfully revisiting his signature themes of identity, desire and dream logic, this surrealistic film noir's subject is nothing less than the allure and danger of Hollywood itself. DIR/SCR David Lynch; PROD Neal Edelstein, Tony Krantz, Michael Polaire, Alain Sarde and Mary Sweeney. France/US, 2001, color, 147 min. RATED R
