“Hey, pretty girl, time to wake up.”

Join us at the Rio Theatre for an encore, 20th Anniversary screening of David Lynch‘s sexy, dreamlike and twisty neo-noir MULHOLLAND DR. on Sunday, July 24.

Lynch wrote and directed this story in the City of Dreams about two women (including Naomi Watts, in her star-making turn) who find themselves walking a fine line between truth and deception in the beautiful but dangerous netherworld of Hollywood.

Blonde Betty Elms (Watts) has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia (Laura Harring). Meanwhile, as the two set off to solve the second woman’s identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project. David Lynch’s seductive and scary vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium, a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.

With Ann Miller, Michael J. Anderson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Angelo Badalamenti, Robert Forster, Rebekah Del Rio.

“You can discover a lot about yourself by getting lost in ‘Mulholland Drive.’ It grips you like a dream that won’t let go.” (Rolling Stone)

“A bone fide masterpiece. An erotic, deeply unsettling, darkly comic journey through the subconscious city of night.” (Empire Magazine)

“Lynch gets dreams like almost no other filmmaker, because he understands that dreams are not metaphors, but irrationally assembled spaces in which we can’t help but look for symbolism and logic.” (AV Club)
