A few days after David Lynch's death, Giunti Odeon pays tribute to one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema with a new special screening of one of his last masterpieces. Released in 2001 and hailed as ‘the most important film of the 21st century’, Mulholland Drive stars Betty, a naive dreamer from deepest Ontario who arrives in Hollywood with dreams of becoming a star. Waiting for roles and glory, she stays in the flat of her aunt, who has returned to Canada. Behind the door she finds Rita, a brunette femme fatale who escaped an accident and two gunmen who wanted her dead. But Rita doesn't know this (anymore) because she has lost her memory behind a curve in Mulholland Drive. Betty and Rita, the name is borrowed from Hayworth, investigate to find her, becoming accomplices and then lovers. The former excels in casting, the latter gradually reconstructs her identity. But the move to the cabaret ‘Silencio’ redistributes names and roles. Betty ‘wakes up’ Diane Selwyn in a miserable flat. Always blonde and always provincial, she tries to be an actress and only gets insignificant roles. She meets and loves Rita, who is now called Camilla Rhodes, is a star of the silver screen and is about to marry a fashionable director. Rejected by her lover and Hollywood, Diane hires a hitman to kill Camilla and then ‘dreams’ to regain her innocence.
