[Best Director, Cannes Film Festival 2001]

"It's easy to tally up the ways in which Mulholland Drive fulfills our expectations of Lynch as a surrealist update devoted to satire, black comedy, and, at times, outright horror. There's no doubt that what Lynch does well—creating unsettling images from the most banal objects, orchestrating a complex polyphony of music and sound, or delineating labyrinthine architectures of streets and houses—he does here better than in any of his other films."
