This movie continues to be one of the most famous riddles in modern cinema. There were many who said that finally didn't like the movie because they couldn't understand what the fuck was happening in there. And although the movie can be explained as a normal story that is been presented in the most unorthodox and surreal way, the most important thing of the movie is not to understand but to feel, finally. Mulholland Drive is a movie that can be sensed for its fragile and together raw power. The one moment is violent and scary and the other is sweet and tender. The game that it plays with the viewer, that continuous change of mood, where you don't know what is coming next, adds to the film's mysterious and mystic agenda. Mulholland Drive is a profound and unique filmic journey that can be understood only through the heart of the viewer. It's what you sense and then understand that matters here.
I have seen Mulholland Drive numerous times as I am a big fan of the movie and of David Lynch's cinema. I have to say that every time that I watch that movie I sense something knew and different. It's like every time I see a new movie. And because of the highly symbolical story and the scattered plot you feel that you are been taken to a place where mysterious deeds are taking place and you are standing in the middle utterly baffled and bewildered. But this is all part of a higher plan from the great American creator of the dreamy surrealism. The film deliberately make you feel that way in order for the trip of the film to be felt in a higher volume and level. If this movie was linear and easily understood it would have been robbed of all its miraculous potential and charm. Mulholland Drive is a difficult movie to watch and follow, but I think that the thing that it leaves in your soul is quite a present for your trouble. One of the best American movies of the 21st century.
