Introduction by film writer and curator, Miriam Bale
Recently declared the best film of the last decade by Film Comment, Cahiers du cinéma, Reverse Shot and countless other critics polls, Mulholland Dr. needs to be seen again and on film. The rich blacks and lush colors should be seen on celluloid, in the dark, to be seen at all.
Mulholland Dr. is also a major work in a new category of "persona swap" films (including Persona, 3 Women and Céline and Julie Go Boating) that film writer and curator Miriam Bale will be examining in an upcoming issue of Film Comment. In this first of a two part presentation, she will suggest that Mulholland Dr. is the first mature work in this group of films; all of the themes—magic, merges, mysteries and sexual tension—come together organically and with great artistry. Bale suggests that the power of the film's appeal comes from its familiarity. It seems as familiar as a forgotten dream, recognizable yet always just out of reach.
Director: David Lynch. 2001. 147 min. 35mm.
