Mulholland Drive15

Directed by David Lynch | USA | 2001 | 2h 27m | Starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Justin Theroux, Jeanne Bates, Robert Forster

Blonde newcomer Betty Elms has just arrived in Hollywood, full of hope and dreams of becoming a movie star. Her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets a mysterious brunette suffering from amnesia. As the two women try to uncover the stranger’s identity, a young film director faces disturbing obstacles while casting his new project. David Lynch’s haunting portrait of Los Angeles is a modern classic – a neo-noir trip through Hollywood’s dark underbelly exploring love, jealousy, and revenge.

Classic Season: Dreamscapes

Reviews

‘Mulholland Drive is pure cinema – a gorgeous, noir-narcotic loop of heartbreak in the “dream place” of Los Angeles.’
★★★★★
Danny Leigh, The FT

‘It is an explosively sexy love story, rocket-fuelled with vanity and cruelty.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
