Lost Highway Lost Highway

Director David Lynch gives us a psycho thriller beyond definition that has audiences tangled in the provocations of nightmares, violence, sex sequences, reality, the subconscious, and madness as they must create their own interpretations of the film.

    Completely out there and a thick atmosphere, those are the two aspects that make a typical Lynch film. Lost Highway is certainly not easily digested and even after sleeping over it I'm still not sure what exactly it is I watched last night. As per usual with these kinds of films it wouldn't come to much trying to make sense of it after a first viewing as I'm sure there are many things I missed or forgot by now. However, the one thing that is also a recurring theme whenever I sit down and watch one of Lynch's many fascinating movies is that it was engrossing and drew me in almost effortlessly. After the strange opening credits we dive right…

    Weirdest experience ever. GORGEOUS 35mm print at the Coolidge, and that opening sequence just had be absorbed from the get-go.

    But I was half in the bag and operating on little sleep so I was fading in and out during the whole thing. In little doses, but enough to certainly make this David Lynch delirium into something even more surreal. I felt like I was having the weirdest fucking dream and it was pretty awesome just for the experience alone.

    That being said, I'll have to give this a revisit one of these days to confirm but yeah, what a ride.

    When he is exploring his sexual fantasies, Lynch is one of contemporary cinema's finest narrative surrealists. When he's exploiting those same fantasies, it feels sordid and malicious. This is the latter.

    Directed by - David Lynch
    Written by - David Lynch and Barry Gifford
    Starring - Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Robert Blake, Robert Loggia and Balthazar Getty

    Remember when you were at school and your teachers told you that you should never end a story with “and then he woke up and it was all a dream”? Well, I’m now more convinced than ever that they were totally and utterly wrong. I mean come on, have these people not seen Lost Highway!?

    Then again, maybe they have seen it and maybe they just think my admittedly absurd and possibly deranged interpretation of the film is what’s wrong. Either way, as far as I’m concerned, Lynch is the master of proving that…

    Still no idea whats going on in there but its a good interesting and confusing watch. Looks great and has an unsettling feel to it.

    The Simpson's are Correct...

    ...I believe it was the legendary Homer Simpson who once gave the ideal description on David Lynch productions. During watching a ‘Twin Peaks'-episode he said, `Brilliant…but I don't get it'. Too true…you love what you're seeing and you want to be a part of the mysterious Lynch universe! You actually feel the urge to search for solutions, you want to solve the riddle that is Lost Highway and you desperately try to do so…until you realize it's in fact a puzzle that cannot be solved. Therefore, my advice would be: Don't try to be Einstein and develop too many ‘theories'… just get overwhelmed by Lost Highway and enjoy the mixture of weirdness, violence and erotica you…

    There are several films which have a mystery in their storyline. But there are just a few films which are a mystery as a whole. And these are films made by David Lynch.

    There is a term called kafkaesque which is defined as Something which is marked by a senseless, disorienting, often menacing complexity. For film lovers this term can be changed to LYNCHIAN.

    Man, he is a genius. This film leaves the user to fill in the blanks. The beauty is that those blanks can be filled in a million fucking ways. Ask ten different people about their interpretation of this film and you will get ten different answers. Some may not give an answer at all.

    He and only He can make surreal films like these.

    I Bow to him!!!
