Mulholland Drive
The highly influential and revered filmmaker and artist David Lynch passed away on January 15, 2025. The Museum mourns the loss of this visionary artist and presents one of his most acclaimed films, Mulholland Drive, on 35mm in tribute.
Blonde Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia (Laura Harring). As the two set off to solve the mystery of the second woman’s identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project. David Lynch’s seductive and surreal vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge that earned Lynch the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.
