Story
The film begins with an unidentified woman in a car crash on Mulholland Drive. She survives but suffers from amnesia and assumes the identity of 'Rita', taking refuge in an apartment owned by 'Adam Kesher'. Meanwhile, Betty Elms, a naive aspiring actress from Canada, arrives in Hollywood to pursue her dreams. She moves into Aunt Ruth's apartment where she discovers Rita, who looks remarkably like Betty's cousin Diane, who went missing years ago. Betty decides to help Rita recover her memory and also aids Adam with his film audition process, during which Rita auditions and impresses everyone despite her amnesia. As Betty becomes more involved in their lives, strange events begin to occur, including encounters with mysterious figures like 'The Cowboy' and 'The Man Behind the Diner'. As Rita's memory starts to return, she reveals that she had been having an affair with another woman named 'Camilla', who may have been involved in a plot against Adam. The film culminates in a shocking revelation about Betty's past and the true identity of Rita.
Summary
Initially conceived as a television pilot for ABC, 'Mulholland Dr.' was eventually adapted into a feature film by French company Studio Canal Plus after ABC decided not to air it despite David Lynch's efforts to cut it down to their liking. The movie is a complex and mysterious exploration of Hollywood, dreams, reality, and identity, centering around two women named Betty and Rita who become intertwined in each other's lives in strange and unsettling ways. The film is notable for its dream-like sequences, its enigmatic characters, and its challenging narrative structure, which has led to much interpretation and debate among viewers and critics alike.
