David Lynch film voted greatest film of the 21st century by critics worldwide | Films | Entertainment

David Lynch, the acclaimed surrealist film director, sadly died aged 78 on Wednesday, leaving behind half a century of incredible work. His most famous and celebrated movie of all has to be 2001’s Mulholland Drive.

Oscar-nominated for his direction, the neo-noir mystery arthouse film stars Justin Theroux, Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Ann Miller and Robert Forster. Set in Hollywood, the story follows an aspiring actress new to Los Angeles.

Befriending a woman suffering from amnesia after a car crash, she sets off to uncover the mystery of her identity as they encounter bizarre events stuck somewhere between dream and reality.

Considered one of the best movies ever made, Mulholland Drive was voted the greatest film of the 21st in a 2016 poll.

The BBC asked 177 film critics from 36 countries around the world to submit their Top 10 films released since the year 2000.

Lynch’s masterpiece managed to beat the likes of In the Mood for Love, There Will Be Blood and Spirited Away.

Mulholland Drive (Remastered) is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video in UHD, or you can start a 7-day free trial on the streaming service’s subsidiary StudioCanal Presents.
