David Lynch is known as kind of a
weirdo. His films like Eraserhead, Dune, and
Inland Empire are
surreal, confusing, mind-benders. Mulholland Dr. is
arguably his most successful experiment in filmmaking. It's a bizarre
tale about Hollywood and the way it can chew people up and spit them
out. Originally, Mulholland Dr. was
meant to be a TV show, and much of the footage of the film was meant
to be for the pilot. Of course no network would buy a show with such
a bizarre concept, so Lynch wrote an ending to the open-ended story
started in the pilot, and mishmashed the two halves into one of the
most brilliant, yet confusing movies of the last decade.
