MULHOLLAND DR. - Mary Sweeney in Person!

USA | 2001 | 35mm | 145 min.
Director: David Lynch
Cast: Naomi Watts, Laura Elena Harring, Justin Theroux

An amnesiac woman (Harring), with the help of a bright-eyed, newly arrived Hollywood hopeful (Watts), searches for her identity.  With filmic quotes from Sunset Boulevard, Gilda, and Persona, Mulholland Dr. contemplates the corruption and empty promises behind Tinseltown with some of the most arresting images and sounds ever committed to celluloid. Lynch was awarded the best director prize at Cannes (and received a Best Director Academy Award nomination) for Mulholland Dr., a project originally intended as a pilot for ABC that became one of the most acclaimed movies of the 21st century. This screening of a 35mm print will be followed by an in-person discussion with Mulholland Dr.’s producer and editor, Mary Sweeney, who received a BAFTA Best Editor award for her work.
