Mulholland Drive is a 2002 American neo-noir mystery film written and directed by David Lynch, starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Justin Theroux. The plot follows an aspiring actress named Betty Elms who moves to Los Angeles in search of her dreams but instead finds work as the ward of mean real estate tycoon Henry Townsend. As she struggles to stay afloat in Hollywood, she meets and eventually falls in love with an amnesiac womanizing veteran actor. The project was produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures and filmed on location in Hollywood. Lynch conceived the idea for the film after conceiving "The Straight Story", which also starred Watts in the lead role. Lynch intended Mulholland Drive to be a love story in addition to being a mystery film, although he also intended for the film to explore the issues of dreams and nightmares. The film's initial budget was estimated at $10 million, however this quickly ballooned to more than $17 million. The film was shot on location in Los Angeles and involved thirty-five different sets. Sound design, originally overseen by Robert Israel at Lynch's invitation, was re-edited by Adam Fields at the behest of Barry Mendel, head of production at Fox Searchlight Pictures. In the United States, the film was rated R for violence and disturbing images, but originally planned for a 'X'. Although originally intended as a romantic drama, Lynch felt that this idea would not have "worked with Watts' role" and he made changes to focus on Betty's dysfunctional relationship with Henry Townsend. He also felt that the plot inevitably belonged to Betty, who was the main character. Themes of fear induced from dreams would take precedence over any fantasy. The score for Mulholland Drive is composed by Angelo Badalamenti in collaboration with Lynch. The film contains music from Jim Jarmusch's 1984 film Stranger Than Paradise, which features a version of David Bowie's song "Ashes to Ashes". Also features Roy Orbison's "In Dreams", which was playing on the car radio in Lula's car when she crashed. One of Anthony Minghella's last films as cinematographer, he died before it was released. The film premiered to acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival; however, it was shown out of competition at the festival due to its production timeline. The film has since garnered extreme critical acclaim and is considered by many to be one of Lynch's finest works. It is often noted by critics for its unusual plot progression and structure, as well as its dreamlike visuals and meticulous sound design; it has been described as one of the most thematically complex films of all time. "Mulholland Drive" was nominated for multiple awards, including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay at the 66th Golden Globe Awards, as well as Best Picture and Best Director for Lynch. In the film's original ending, the character Lula claims that she is a man after leaving jail. As she arrives back at her apartment, her cell phone rings and it turns out that Diane is calling. Lula tells Diane that she has been released from jail and cannot take the role of Diana because "she's a woman". After hanging up, Lula leaves her apartment. cfa1e77820
