“Maybe the film was cursed?”
Overview
Behold a pair of deeply chilling stories that intersect to form one of David Lynch’s most underrated neo-noir masterpieces. Tortured by the notion that his wife Renee (Patricia Arquette) is having an affair, Jazz saxophonist Fred Madison’s (Bill Pullman) life takes a stranger turn when eerie video tapes appear on his front doorstep that imply a breaking and entering into his own house. Meanwhile, a brooding young mechanic (Balthazar Getty) is drawn into a web of deceit by a woman (also Patricia Arquette) who is cheating on her gangster boyfriend. These two weird L.A. stories become interlinked in ways beyond comprehension as one person turns into another while a certain woman is seemingly in two places at once.
Why See This Film
Along with its dreamlike, dark soundtrack produced by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Lost Highway is awash in cult star quality. As well as cameos from musicians like Henry Rollins, Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez, the film also features the last on-screen appearances for three fairly disparate actors: Richard Pryor, Jack Nance and Robert Blake.
