Description

David Lynch’s enigmatically enchanting MULHOLLAND DRIVE returns just in time for its 20th anniversary! David Lynch’s enigmatically enchanting Mulholland Drive returns just in time for its 20th anniversary! Beautiful, bizarre and strangely addictive, the film begins with a botched hit that 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. “Mulholland Drive is pure cinema – a gorgeous, noir-narcotic loop of heartbreak in the “dream place” of Los Angeles.” — Danny Leigh, Financial Times “A beautiful, gripping fever dream. Loaded with haunting imagery and a star making performance by Naomi Watts, this is Lynch at his most accessible…without compromising any of his artistic vision.” — Joe Lipsett, Horror Queers Podcast “It is an explosively sexy love story, rocket-fuelled with vanity and cruelty.” — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian The Frida Cinema is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching, connecting, and educating communities through the art of cinema.  Founded in 2014, it is Orange County's sole non-profit, independent cinema.OC's year-round film festival.
