It wasn’t the first David Lynch’s film I saw-listened to. It was the third, after “The elephant man” (1980) and “Mulholland drive” (2001), so I knew I would experience something crazy. It was in VHS. The introduction (a travelling of a highway at night, David Bowie’s “I’m deranged” plays) just caught me. Well, of course the first thing about the movie that caught my attention was the idea of a married couple (Fred and Renee) receiving video-tapes that showed their own house… And then, when I was watching-listening that sequence, it didn’t dissapoint me at all… that mysterious atmosphere… I was loving it. Later, they receive other video-tapes, one showing them sleeping… Kind of terrifying, isn’t it? Then there’s that master ilogic scene at a party with the Mystery Man that I won’t spoil. You MUST see it.
Fred watches a new tape where he is killing his wife, he’s found guilty and, sentenced to death, “sent to prision, where inexplicably morphs into a young mechanic and begins leading a new life” (IMDB.com) Since then, you have to begin understanding this new order, but later… it doesn’t seem to be an order; the film throws itself and you can get exasperated but enjoying it. Lynch can make you feel it’s all an audiovisual experience… I envy him so much because of that! Nevertheless, I don’t aim to even try to copy him.
I take the highway as the life and, since Fred life mutates into another, I think there are identity problems… or, I don’t even know if it’s a “problem”. Well, “Lost highway” may refer to a “lost life”. Anyway, JUST SEE IT!

He's so cool.
I remember bits of this movie, which probably means I missed the beginning and because of that decided to stop watching it until I could see it from start to end. I just remember that man's face. Scary. I think that actor was accussed of murdering his wife some years ago. E! News told me :S Useless info, I know (but I love useless stuff).
Great job!
its so scary!
(but I love that movie!)
