David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive is on re-release - it topped a list of 21st century films last year and shows us the unique relationship between TV and film in his work.

Mulholland Drive is one of the greatest films of all time
The hobo scene still lives with me to this day!
One of the greatest films of all time.
Agreed and should have won the Oscar that year.
rb driftin It is the greatest film ever. Next to Bergman's "Persona."
Yes
Saw it in 35mm at the Prince Charles (best cinema!) a couple of years back. Wasn't the first time I saw it, but it was beautiful. There is something about being in a cinema setting and watching a Lynch film that makes you feel like you're in a set from the movie itself, particularly in Mulholland Drive with it's Hollywood plot and many realities.
makes me feel very old that a film from the early 2000s is being "restored"...
I was a little wary of seeing this after Lost Highway left me cold, but I can still recall how hard this film hit me by the end. A brilliant movie from start to finish.
I had no idea the Twin Peaks pilot had an alternative version.
was absolutely fantastic. 5 outta 5
i thought FWWM was masterful on my first viewing.. the final moments had and still do have a profound effect on me. saw it projected again a small art house cinema in reykjavík and i agree that its more than stood the test of time. was followed by missing pieces and as much as i enjoyed them i found l'm very glad for Lynch's initial instincts regarding the final cut
Anyone who saw this movie only once and was able figure everything out without help is good ! Several scenes that are shown in the beginning like the limousine ride to Mulholland Dr. , the black telephone next to the ashtray, and the diner scene, etc. are later repeated in the movie .
Another lynching masterpiece from the start to finish where a normal drive at night with that music nearly gave me a heart attack .
Such an interesting video I am defo gonna see it!
Twin Peaks was shot at my home town in North Bend, Washington and it is probably THE ONLY thing we are known for.
I thought you were also known for your damn fine cherry pie.
Fantastic film and two stunning ladies. Silencio
it's his masterpiece, Mark
I saw it yesterday on the big screen and it is definitely a cinema movie. The big screen and theater make it a more sensual experience, I know this sounds odd, it's more an emotional experience than a story, and the big screen is much better for that type of film.
It was the first time I saw it on the big screen, and it was worth it in spades. Although it was made in 2001 this will be my film of the year. I don't think I enjoy a cinema experience this year the way I did yesterday, (Hope I'm wrong), I may actually go again next Saturday, loved it.
what ?? some of you never seen it ? or watch it once and didn't understood a thing ? yep , do not worry , that's okay, i've seen it maybe 8 times, and i quite get it near the 5th time... lol but this movie is for me one of his best work ... i love all his movies and twin peaks for sure, but this one still resonate in me like no other movie.
I saw this as a teenager. The love scene in this is spectacular.
Review consists of 'hi everyone i'm just off to see the movie again, twin peaks was great too wasn't it'
As a tribute in good humour i have made a cheeky poem about Mark Kermode, to see it simply just type in this in to the search bar..........My ode to kermode
The proper title, I think, is 'Mulholland Dr.' This links to the road sign and hints that the 'Betty' scenes are the dreams of the failed actress, dumped lover shown in the last 20 minutes of the film. It was, as you say, originally intended as a sort of sequel to Twin Peaks, the TV show, with the character Audrey Horne moving to LA hoping to become an actress.
Nice to hear Mark talking positively about television. There's possibly been more quality scripted television been made in the last ten years than in the rest of its history.
please please please can you sort out the audio on your videos, loud clips followed by Dr K's part being exceptionally quiet
There should've been a Silent Bob-warning on this.
1:26 the midget of the Black Lodge in "Twin Peaks".
TV is where most of the best movie work is being done these days.
Since this is related to Lynch can I just say The Straight Story is underrated.
Tommy Wiseau Hi Johnny, I didn't know it was you
+Tommy Wiseau...Maybe you're right, but because it is the most unLynchian of all his films, it could almost have been made by another director.
I just uploaded my reaction to this movie on my channel. Broke my brain lol.
Why does he skip Lost Highway, Lynch's best film?
he...didn't review the film
Rising Damp the movie
I never noticed that Naomi Watts speaks in a higher tone in MD.
Its second to There Will Be Blood, whichis the greatest
I like Dune. No shame.
ultimagameboy Great film. Lynch really can't do any film wrong.
I am a weird American who started as a German teenager who was dragged to New York by parents who didn't get me. Won't say how old I am, so obviously old. Lynch freaks me out and yes I have been to college, university here. Anyway, though I will not subject myself to Eraserhead because I am a girl, I have seen the entire Twin Peaks catalogue. Don't like it, always watch. These film critiques have helped me understand my addiction. Might need a break..😙😇😎🔥🎷 Peace🌎🌍🌏
David Lynch’s magnum opus, and still Naomi watts best film 😉 end of
Lynch loves to mess with the fact that we have this primal drive to extrapolate order and meaning from chaos and the unknowable. Meaning is the illusion and chaos is the reality, or is it the other way around? POSSIBLE SPOILER..... This film may be about sex trafficking within the Hollywood industry and we are experiencing the last thoughts of an abused victim who is dying from a suicide or possibly murder. Or, perhaps she never made it to Hollywood because her plane went down en route. Her ghostly apparition at the beginning and end of the film is a big clue. Either the old couple are agents for trafficking, or they were the last two people she encountered as the plane crashed since they were sitting together. Or I am completely wrong. Ultimately, only Lynch knows the real meaning of this incredible film, and he is not divulging.
And check out Lynch's "Rabbits" if you want to be creeped out very deeply.
The lesbian-scene!, that's how I remember this film!,... But lynch is a master, that's a Given!!.
First person to say first ever
In this video Kermode says nothing interesting about Mulholland Drive and then mentions himself a couple times.
a confused cat 😂 He didn't even sneak in the word 'masterpiece' or another overused word? I think when he said TV and cinema were the same medium we were meant to be a little bit impressed.
Many smart people including Jonathan Blow (who I admire) seem to love this movie. But if I'm honest I don't like Lynch's movies much at all. They seem so random with little thought put into them. I feel like there must be something I'm missing. I'm not sure.
I hate Fire Walk With Me. I loved my dad, feel horrible for the character. I know the graphic horror was purposeful, but every fiber in me cringes. Horror is horror. I watched it once. Not qualified to judge.😎
dreams. visions..the red room from Twin Peaks again. flickering light accompanied with deep bass audiatory stimulation AKA McAtmosphere.... visions. lesbians. quirky character. random weirdness. vision. dream. reality?? end..
you don't have to watch it now. 😂 insert hidden meanings at will
you should still watch it
I think Lynch said Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks take place in the same world.
Tate Hildyard Really? Well what do you know. I 'got it'. And I still think it's cack
pleb
***** You haven't watch enough films to know any better. 😊
Love the movie. This is a terrible review--doesnt really critique the movie.
Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, hell even Lost Highway are far better than Fire Walk With Me. Unlike most of his other films, which are wonderfully ridiculous, Fire Walk With Me is just hilariously bad. Mind you its been a decade since I saw Inland Empire, which left be indifferent.
I just saw this for the second time in the cinema and I've got to say, the first time seeing it leaves you with a lingering feeling of mystery and confusion. This second viewing just left me bored and indifferent to it, which is a real shame that once you've experienced it, it no longer has any real impact or merit. All the mystery and strangeness you first experience seems to fade with the second viewing, and just leaves you with a disjointed film with nuggets of interesting scenes and concepts mixed in. So if you've never seen this film, then definitely make sure to go see it as soon as you can, and if it's not, then I wouldn't exactly suggest running down to the theatre anytime soon. I'd love to hear the experiences other people had with their second viewing in the cinema, and see if my opinion was apt, or just a load of nonsense.
Mulholland Drive was alright. Not sure why all these arty burgers suddenly came to the conclusion it is the best thing since sliced bread.
It's better than sliced bread, Jimmy, we all know how to use a knife anyway.
Prefer a good Spider Man movie myself
Brian Ward Are you putting entertainment value or pretentious movies? How dare you.
Lynch (for me) is one of the worst directors to achieve critical (and mainstream) success.... his films are existential nonsense... my idea of Lynch's brainstorming for films, is him sat in a room just thinking of images and conversations that make no sense and have no point, and randomly inserting them into scripts to make them seem profound.
Mulholland Drive was without doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen. It has no meaning, no purpose, no story and just a bunch of random imagery.
Lynch is the film equivalent of one of those 'artists' that just smears their own excrement on a canvas and follows it up by saying 'the meaning is what you make of it', as if that has achieved some next level philosophical thought process.
Having said this.... the first season of Twin Peaks is good... but probably because they reigned Lynch back a bit, given that it was television and they had to retain some sort of audience.... the second season however, is trash.
There's a difference between your not understanding something and its being nonsense.
^^^^ case in point.
My comment was to anyone reading. Your insinuation that people are beneath your level of intellect and that only those operating at a higher level, can truly understand the depth of... blah blah blah.... was just demonstrating the point I made in my previous post about this film appealing only to people that smell their own farts and believe their intellect is superior because they pretend there is a meaning to something as illogical and pointless as Mulholland Drive. I can sum up the meaning of this film in a sentence.... it's meant to reflect the nature of a dream... wow... how astute.... this film is trash.... it is well shot (I'll give it that)... but anybody can think of random images and things that don't make sense... dreams are inherently nonsensical... which is why this film is nonsensical, and that doesn't make it genius, it makes it pointless.
It's your opinion but you're wrong.
But Mulholland Drive makes sense for the most part. I won't pretend to understand Inland Empire or Lost Highway, but this one actually has a somewhat logical narrative. I mainly like Lynch's films for his ability to create a strange, dark atmosphere. Please note that I'm not trying to say you're not intelligent enough to understand it or anything like that. Feel free to dislike Lynch's movies as much as you want of course, but this one definitely isn't nonsensical.
All D Lynch films are poo
I will pal.. At least they're not pretentious piles of poo masquerading as art..
Funny you should say something psychopathic like that.. I firmly believe that D Lynch is a psychopath also.. and his films reflect that mindset.. They are deliberately confusing, usually interested in death and murder and are ultimately shallow and empty at their core..
Good point.. Life is dualistic after all, up down, in out, black white, positive negative, good evil and psychopathic and humane.. He's showing us the psychopathic side which is actually the reality and any notion that we live in a benign world is fantasy. v good point..
excellent point.. his films aren't poo.. they are a valuable commentary on the nature of reality.. Instead of "poo" I should have said "hard work" b/c I would find it genuinely hard to sit through Eraserhead again.. and is Eraserhead's reality the genuine one.. is he the sane one and the rest of us are mad/deluded.. is our reality really a comforting mass-delusion coping mechanism.. Apologies D Lynch.. : )
Patrick Ryan This "D Lynch" guy you speak of must really suck but David Lynch is another story and makes classic films!
Not sure what you call it but this film is an example of it - people claim to like it as a form of virtue signal.
David Lynch is dreadful
