Lost Highway

If there’s one thing to be said about David Lynch films it’s that they are like no other and this one just seems to get better and better every time i watch it as i begin to piece it together. There’s so many different interpretations that could come from this film and that’s what I love about Lynch’s work, he’d rather let the viewer put their own interpretation together than simply give out the answers. I picked up quite a lot from this viewing and think that i can now put together my own interpretation with some level of confidence that i’ve not read it wrong. This film’s just incredible, everything about it is just the coolest thing ever. It’s so tense, it’s quite scary at times and has the most mesmerising soundtrack. It’s a neo-noir masterpiece that journeys into the dark, surreal depths of the human psyche. It explores guilt, identity, and the cyclical nature of trauma all whilst remaining hypnotic, profound and to be honest an experience like no other film. Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette give some really chilling performances that just add to the enigmatic tone of the film. Angelo Badalamenti’s score as well as the contributions from Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie intensifies the hypnotic feeling already surrounding this masterpiece.   David Lynch’s work has changed the way I view films in general and for that i’m eternally grateful.
