https://cosfordcinema.com/event/the-sight-sound-top-ten-mulholland-drive-2001/ ##sightandsound #top10 #cosfordcinemaThe Cosford Cinema is proud to present a screening series of the top 10 films of the 2022 Sight & Sound Top 100 Poll: The Greatest Films of All Time.
Launched in 1952 and conducted every 10 years since, the poll includes filmmakers, critics and journalists from around the world. The results are published in Sight & Sound, a monthly film magazine published by the British Film Institute.
MULHOLLAND DRIVE | YEAR: 2001 | DIRECTOR: David Lynch | 4K DCP projection | RUNNING TIME: 147 minutes | RATED: R for nudity, sexual situations, violence, adult themes.
A love story in the city of dreams . . . Blonde Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia (Laura Harring). Meanwhile, as the two set off to solve the second woman’s identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project.
David Lynch’s seductive and scary vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium, a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.
"Mulholland Drive" took eighth place in the Sight & Sound poll. Admission is $5 per film or $40 for a series pass. Students with Cane card use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission.
"'Mulholland Drive' is as brilliant and disquieting as anything Lynch has ever done. It is psychotically lucid, oppressively strange, but with a powerfully erotic and humanly intimate dimension that Lynch never quite achieved elsewhere. It is a fantasia of illusion and identity; a meditation on the mystery of casting in art as in life: the vital importance of finding the right role.
"The breakthrough performances of Naomi Watts and Laura Harring are stunning. Watts has a quicksilver technical fluency: an ingenue, an actress, and then a has-been. Harring’s face in closeup is commanding and sensually tragic, a mask of horror. She is a silent Maria Callas." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
