Initially, "Mulholland Dr." was to mark David Lynch's return to television. It is a retooling of a script originally shot as a 94-minute pilot for a TV series (co-written with TV screenwriter Joyce Eliason) for the channel ABC, which had approved the script, but chose not even to air the pilot once it was done in 1999, despite Lynch's labours to cut the project to their liking. It was left in limbo until 18 month later French company Studio Canal Plus (also producer of 'The Straight Story') agreed to pay ABC $7 million for the pilot, and budget a few million more to turn the pilot into a two-hour, 27-minute movie. The cost of the film doubled to $14 million as sets had to be reconstructed and actors recalled.

Atmospheric, a challenge to comprehend, but the clues are there. Pay close attention.

One of Lynch’s best films. It has his weirdness and surreal visuals. The plot is complicated with an ending open to interpretation.

Probably Lynch's most coherent Lynchian film

Dense and mysterious. Really makes you want to dig in and begs to be explored further. Also has one of the best jump scares in film history

Does nobody realize that this is the page for the 90 minute TV pilot version?

David Lynch at his best, surreal, dreamlike and at times depressing, the plot is confusing but it comes together with its ending twist

An enigma of cinematic brilliance! Watch it, be confused by it, read or listen about it, see it again & be confused in wholly different ways

I didn't understand the plot. But it is a very well made film that has you hooked every second.
