& Sons


A brunette (Laura Elena Harring) is left without memory after a car crash and wanders the streets of Los Angeles in a daze before being taken in by Betty (Naomi Watts), a wholesome Midwestern blonde who has come to the City of Angels seeking fame as an actress.
Together, the two attempt to solve the mystery of the brunette’s true identity. This film has a hypnotic rhythm that could only be Lynch's, and it really draws you in - it is a bone fide masterpiece, an erotic, unsettling, darkly comic journey through the subconscious city of night.
There is something endlessly fascinating about a film that prioritises questions over answers, stretching our expectations of what cinema can achieve while scene by scene also providing a richly fulfilling experience. ‘Mulholland Drive’ topped the ‘Best Film of the 21st century’ poll as judged by BBC Culture.
