Mulholland Drive is a 2001 American neo-noir mystery film written and directed by David Lynch (pictured) and starring Justin Theroux, Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Ann Miller, and Robert Forster. It tells the story of an aspiring actress newly arrived in Los Angeles, who befriends an amnesic woman hiding in an apartment that belongs to Betty's aunt. The film includes several vignettes along with surreal and darkly comic scenes and images, presented in Lynch's signature style, that eventually interlock with the overarching narrative. A large portion of filming took place in 1999 as a television pilot, with Lynch's plan to keep it open-ended for a potential series. After it was rejected by television executives, Lynch gave the pilot an ending and completed the project as a feature film. The cryptic ending, which Lynch has declined to offer an explanation of, has left the general meaning of the film's events open to interpretation. Mulholland Drive was acclaimed by critics and earned Lynch award nominations at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival and 74th Academy Awards. The film is now widely regarded as one of Lynch's finest works and one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
