Mulholland Drive
(David Lynch, 2001, 147 min, USA, Color, 35mm)

Bright-eyed aspiring actress Betty (Naomi Watts) arrives in LA with dreams of stardom, but soon finds herself sucked into the nightmarish underbelly of Hollywood’s Dream Factory as she becomes entangled with an amnesiac femme fatale (Laura Harring). Hitchcockian doubles, illusory identities, and surreal slips into the dark and disturbing abound in David Lynch’s neo-noir masterpiece.

-- Introduced by Prof. Markos Hadjioannou (Program in Literature)
