Along Mulholland Drive nothing is what it seems. In the unreal universe of Los Angeles, the city bares its schizophrenic nature, an uneasy blend of innocence and corruption, love and loneliness, beauty and depravity. A woman is left with amnesia following a car accident. An aspiring young actress finds her staying in her aunt's home. The puzzle begins to unfold, propelling us through a mysterious labyrith of sensual experiences until we arrive at the intersection of dreams and nightmares.

Notes
Apparently, I am not alone in being unable to figure out what this film is about; theories abound, a few of which may be found in the links section of this page, and many more in the IMDb commentaries -- Why this film is so highly regarded by critics and reviewers is a mystery to me -- Yes, I got it that much of the film (if not all) is illusionary, sureal inventions, dreams of a drug induced mind -- but to what purpose?
