See all- Mulholland DriveThe Chelsea Theater, Chapel Hill, NC
Beautiful, bizarre and strangely addictive, the film begins as a botched hit which results in the meeting of brunette amnesiac Rita (Laura Harring – Love in the Time of Cholera) and blonde would-be Hollywood actress Betty (Naomi Watts – Birdman, 21 Grams). Taking the viewer on a memorable neo-noir trip through Hollywood’s dark underbelly, Lynch dispenses with a conventional narrative in favour of a hallucinogenic assault on the senses that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
Recently voted the best film of the 21st Century in a BBC Culture poll, Mulholland Drive is essential viewing by one of the masters of contemporary American cinema. David Lynch’s scary and seductive vision of Hollywood is a true masterpiece, weaving together a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.
This is part of The Chelsea's David Lynch retrospective, and this showing features an introduction by Professor Rick Warner of UNC Film Studies, so I recommend getting your ticket in advance. Showtime is 7:00, so we should gather around 6:45 to meet each other and find our seats. See you there!
Note: the webpage announcement is inconsistent. At the top it talks about the 7:00 showing, but at the bottom it only shows 2:00. When I called, the guy said the bottom information probably hadn't been updated yet. Since they say there will be a person introducing, I am trusting it, but I will check back on Tuesday to confirm.
