Mulholland Drive (2001) Directed by David Lynch. 2hr 27min.

Join us for a special SUNDAY DEEP CUT introduction by Head of Programming Joanna Sokolowski, as we present Mulholland Drive—the surreal, layered and dreamy film that helped define the “Lynchian” aesthetic. 

A love story in the city of dreams . . . Blonde Betty Elms has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia. Meanwhile, as the two set off to solve the second woman’s identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project. David Lynch’s seductive and scary vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium, a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.
