Lost Highway is a 1997 film starring Bill Pullman, Balthazar Getty and Patricia Arquette. Pure David Lynch style and narrative.
You may like it or you might loathe it, but with Lost Highway, David Lynch proves that he is one of the most personal directors in the history of cinema.
We reiterate: like it or not.
Storyline
It follows the story of a man accused of murdering his wife. The man seems to change body and personality, on a road of no return to the boundaries of… nothing.
Movie Review
To say that it is scattered is like saying nothing: it is an incoherence sought but not found (it will go further). The film is a madness that ends up trapping us in visual and stylistic suggestion.
Yes, sometimes this guy gets repetitive from being so original, but he is always refreshing in his way of making us see a film each time and, on each occasion, we still can’t quite “get the point” because he eludes logic (that’s precisely what it’s all about).
Worth highlighting is the amalgam of artistic styles present and the good (or bad, for some) taste in the compositions.
Very artistic, delicious and delirious.
Our Opinion
We are not going to deceive you: we love this guy even though we would not let him look after our house: he makes a style rule out of incoherence; and of the pictorial and musical, a very different way of making cinema.
And we like what is different.
