To honor the late, great David Lynch, Ty Burr’s Film Club will screen one of the director’s very best works, “Mulholland Drive” (2001), on February 6th at 6:30 p.m., with a discussion following. The film is a cryptic (but only seemingly!) drama of Hollywood paranoia, lust, jealousy and murder, with a performance by Naomi Watts that vaulted her to the forefront of leading actresses after years of trying to make it in the movie business. Voted the 8th greatest movie of all time in the most recent Sight & Sound critics’ poll and generally considered one of the best films of the 21st century to date, “Mulholland Drive” is a hypnotic tour through the hopes and dreams and nightmares of a town built on fame and illusion. It is the last movie to feature the classic-era star Ann Miller, and the only movie to co-star Miller and Billy Ray Cyrus. Don’t understand what it’s about? Stick around for the post-film discussion, when all will be made clear (maybe).
