Silencio!
We finally get lost in David Lynch's walking daydream Mulholland Dr. (2001) starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, and Justin Theroux.
Lynch, as usual, declined to explain the meaning of the film and we here at Black Girl Film Club can little more than offer our musing and interpretations including: the Hollywood machine, the sinister nature of LA, shaping your identity, Ellen Degeneres wigs, and the Blue Box Theory.
We miss you, David and thank you for everything.
Our recommendations: Persona (1966), 3 Women (1977), Black Swan (2010), Perfect Blue (1997)
