"Lost Highway" - In Memoriam David Lynch

In honor of the film artist David Lynch, who passed away in January, we are showing one of his most disturbing thrillers:

LOST HIGHWAY

USA/FRA 1997. D: David Lynch. D: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty, Robert Blake, Richard Pryor. 135 min. EnglOmdtU. FSK: 16

A voice from the intercom at the front door: "Dick Laurent is dead!" A videotape showing the outside of your own house. A videotape showing the inside of the house. The couple Fred and Renée, eyeing each other suspiciously. A mystery man at a party who claims to be at Fred's house at that moment. The murder of Renée, Fred in a prison cell - and the next morning he is transformed into Pete... The incomprehensible in (alpine) dream-like scenarios: Welcome to the Lynch universe into which LOST HIGHWAY leads us. Film noir genre elements, parallelisms, splits somewhere between déjà vu and schizophrenia: "It's not about confusion, it's about feeling the mystery," says Lynch: "Someone once said: 'Mystery is good, confusion is bad, and there's a big difference between the two'."
