“We’ve met before, haven’t we?”

From this inventory of imagery, master filmmaker David Lynch fashions a thrilling neo-noir of two separate but intersecting stories, one about a jazz musician (Bill Pullman), tortured by the notion that his wife is having an affair, who suddenly finds himself accused of her murder. The other is a young mechanic (Balthazar Getty) drawn into a web of deceit by a temptress who is cheating on her gangster boyfriend. These two tales are linked by the fact that the women in both are played by the same actress (Patricia Arquette). With Robert Blake, Henry Rollins.

Originally released in 1997, LOST HIGHWAY has been beautifully restored and remastered (under Lynch’s direct supervision) as part of the film’s 25th Anniversary.

“It looks fantastic, it has a wildly eclectic cast, and most of all, its pure, unadulterated Lynch.” (Tilt Magazine)

“Lynch brings the movie’s febrile and violent artifice to life in visual compositions of a poised, painterly authority and interrupts them with quick bursts of hallucinatory frenzy.” (New Yorker)

“It’s pensive male anxiety, and for some cultural reason it’s easier for audiences to accept female hysteria than the insecurities of men.” (Slant Magazine)

“Marking a further escalation in David Lynch’s surrealist style, Lost Highway is a foreboding mystery that arguably leads to a dead end, although it is signposted throughout with some of the director’s most haunting images yet.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
