In the tradition of The Matrix
and Fight Club Mulholland Drive is a film that can
be viewed through multiple lenses. It's the rare film that can (and
should) be watched numerous times, with each viewing revealing a new aspect, a
different nuance. Because it's non-linear and seems nearly impossible to
"get" in just one viewing.
Mulholland Drives characters appear and disappear and the
film takes an incomprehensible turn two-thirds of the way through; and there
seem to be three or four disparate story lines that have virtually nothing to
do with one another. In this way, the film is similar to Lynch’s Lost Higway.
In that film, the 40-something Bill Pullman languishes in a locked prison cell.
He then, without explanation, turns into the 20-something Balthazar Getty and
is released from prison, and the movie goes off on a new story tangent. But what
in the world is going on in “Mulholland Drive’s” strange universe. The film
opens with garish, distorted footage of people jitterbugging; it’s a hellish
version of a Gap ad. Then we see washed-out superimposed footage of a young
woman with a sort of beatific homecoming queen smile on her face. Then there’s
a few seconds of a red blanket; breathing sounds pulse on the soundtrack. Then
the movie proper starts, with a few parallel stories. Some viewers see that
it’s the same person right away; others are flummoxed because they just seem
different. If you look closely, you see they’re the same actress and its all just a dream...
and then there is rabbits, What is going on?
