Summary
Beloved by film and art aficionados and fans of neo-noir cinema, Mulholland Drive is one of the most important and enigmatic films of recent years. It occupies a central and controversial position in the work of its director, David Lynch, who won the best director award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival for the movie. 'Mulholland Drive' in the Routledge 'Philosophers on Film' series is the first full philosophical appraisal of Lynch's film.
