Fourteen years after David Lynch released Mulholland Drive, his mind-bending, titillating study of Hollywood's penchant for chewing up and spitting out ingenues, the Criterion Collection is finally adding the film to its gilded library. Included in this restored, "director-approved edition": on-set footage, an exclusive booklet, and new interviews with Lynch and actors like Naomi Watts and Laura Harring, whose lust-at-first-sight lesbian characters embark on a journey that descends from Nancy Drew mystery into fractured nightmare. There's also the promise of a deleted scene, which is enticing, yet also seems redundant, considering that every time you watch this indefinable masterwork, there are new stones to unturn -- and more dangerous curves ahead.
Mulholland Drive is available from Criterion Collection now. Watch the 2001 trailer below:
