I want to talk about
Mulholland Drive, reviewed yesterday.
masterpiece of 2001, came after A True Story (1999) and Lost Highway (1997). This is a triptych of fim exceptional, very different from each other, which marked the return of Lynch at very high levels, after the "fiasco" of Fire Walk with Me, the prequel
Twyn Peaks. Lynch has reinvented his nightmares and obsessions, using a visual talent never failed.
Mulholland Drive Lost Highway is very close to, but it is also very different.
The second film is a dark, haunting, almost a horror, in certain passages where the terror is shown that provides an empty room, with characters more absurd than ever.
MD is much more complex, is a world apart, moving into other dimensions. Because the film is at times playful, even comical, grotesque. Other times it is rather frightening, terrible, a punch in the stomach. But this Lynch is.
Filmed in 1999 at low cost to start a new television series, was funded by the French a year later to shoot additional sequences, in order to achieve a long length. The original nature delserial television can be seen, especially from episodes in the film that Cembrano disconnected, put it there and then not shown. But this is the soul of the film, because everything comes together to outline an alternative world, where strange things happen.
Although many say the opposite, the plot can be explained.
A woman, after a terrible accident while two men were about to kill her, loses his memory and takes refuge at the home of an aspiring young actress. This seeks to help her understand who he is, but then gets to forget who she is ...
Then it is difficult to explain. The characters are confused, you can not make the consecution of the story of the time ... The heart of the film lies in a blue box that, when opened, it changes the movie ... The heart is the uncertainty of knowing who you are ...
The film is also a joy to behold, with great visual inventions, scary ...
It 's also a great romantic movie ... a movie backwards. The adjectives are endless, because the films of Lynch are infinite, they are alive ... continue to give new thrills to every viewing.
"Silencio ...."
