Mulholland Drive - 2001 - 8/10

The only Lynch item I like, despite baffling elements with every rewatch.
A dense film about identity, reality, madness, narcissism, Hollywood.
Betty, hoping to make it big in Hollywood arrives at her aunt’s bungalow, and finds amnesiac Rita.
Betty auditions, moguls tug the strings. Then she and Rita search for clues about the latter’s amnesia.
One almost has to view this three times before half the plot makes sense.
On physical copies (eg: DVD) Lynch has left “helpful hints” on what to watch for.
They may be helpful, they may be jokes from this, at times, maddening director.
A hypnotic film.
