Mulholland Drive: Making of (2004 Video)

Only for the biggest Mulholland Dr. and Lynch fans

[4/10 · 18 March 2017]

"Mulholland Drive: Making of" is a French English-language documentary from 2004, so this one is already almost 15 years old and there is no way you could summarize the contents better than it was done in the title here. This is a behind-the-scenes documentary about the David Lynch movie "Mulholland Drive". We see interviews with the filmmaker and with several crew members as well as actors, such as Naomi Watts and even if she did not get an Oscar nomination for it, it can still be considered possibly her most known works. But as popular as the film may be, this documentary here is pretty underwhelming. It basically from start to finish people praising Lynch and his work. You learn almost nothing by watching this one, neither about the film, nor about anything else, at least nothing that you would not know already as a prolific movie-goer. Oh yeah, apparently this documentary is also known as SUR LA ROUTE DE MULHOLLAND DR. and it is not included on the American DVDs, but only here in Europe. Not sure about UK. It would fit given the French filmmaker and title, but of course it's not impossible to order the DVD from abroad if you live in the United States and this is one of your favorite films of all time. But this needs to be the case I guess in order to really appreciate this work here. I personally do not recommend it to people who don't love the film this is about as it is really generic, fairly uninspired for a making of documentary. Thumbs down.
