Mulholland Drive

Mulholland Drive

A story that begins with an attempted assassination and a fatal car accident. A mysterious dark-haired woman (played by Laura Elena Harring) emerges from the wreck with amnesia and a purse full of cash. Meanwhile, Betty Elms (played by Naomi Watts), an innocent from Deep River, Ontario, has just landed in Los Angeles with dreams of movie super stardom.
When Betty finds the nameless beauty in her aunt's apartment, she is deeply intrigued by the situation and offers to help her. This sends the two women on a bizarre search for the truth through the macabre, sun-soaked streets where the mob, a young film director (played by Justin Theroux), a studio executive, and an enigmatic figure named the Cowboy all float in and out of the picture, until there is no longer any distinction between fiction and reality. David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture.
