The best film of the 2000s so far!

Mulholland Drive is, first of all, pure cinema — it’s neither a filmed play nor a didactic meditation on this or that social problem as so many of our award-winning films are. That is to say, it fully embraces the medium, its strengths and limitations. It’s also a genre film, really a whodunnit wrapped around — or, really, distorted by — the dreaming unconscious as only David Lynch can capture it. And while many films have been devoted to dreams, which of them has managed to immerse the audience in a dream world the same way Mulholland Drive does?
