Lost Highway (1997)

Director: David Lynch

Lost Highway is a 1997 American psychological thriller film with elements of neo-noir. Written and directed by David Lynch, the film stars Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty and Robert Loggia. Lynch co wrote the screenplay with Barry Gifford, who also wrote the novel that served as the basis for Lynch's Wild at Heart (1990). The film features the last film appearances of Richard Pryor and Jack Nance, as well as the most recent film to date for Robert Blake.

Lynch conceived Lost Highway after the critical and commercial disappointment of Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me (1992), a film adaptation and follow up to the widely successful cult television series Twin Peaks, produced by Lynch. In tradition of most of Lynch's films, Lost Highway has a largely cryptic narrative. Lynch has also declined to offer an explanation of his intentions for the narrative which has seen audiences speculate on what transpires throughout the course of the film's plot.

The film tells the story of a saxophonist who is accused under strange circumstances of the murder of his beautiful, supposedly unfaithful wife. The film then introduces a completely different story involving a young auto mechanic and his mysterious blonde girlfriend who bears a strong resemblance to the saxophonist's murdered wife. Lost Highway was one of Lynch's most unsuccessful theatrical releases, leaving critics polarized because of its seemingly incoherent narrative and receiving the infamous two thumbs down from Siskel and Ebert. Despite initial negativity, the film has become a cult film and was selected by They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? as one of the greatest films ever made.

Lost Highway was shot in approximately 84 days; from November 29, 1995 until 22 February 22, 1996, funded with a moderately large budget of $15 million from the French production company StudioCanal. A vast majority of the film was shot in locations throughout California, in Los Angeles, with the desert scenes being filmed in Nevada. Fred and Renee's mansion is a property of Lynch's which he, along with most of the furniture, had designed himself. The interior shots of the Lost Highway Hotel were filmed at the Amargosa Hotel in Death Valley, which is believed to be haunted.

The first cut of the film ran just over two and a half hours. After a screening with 50 people, Lynch cut out 25 minutes of footage, including an autopsy scene of Renee's corpse.

The storyline is similar to Ambrose Bierce's story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, in which a prisoner is hanged, while imagining escaping and traveling home.

Philosopher Slavoj Zizek interprets the film's bipartite structure as exploiting the opposition of two horrors, the phantasmatic horror of the nightmarish noir universe of perverse sex, betrayal, and murder, and the (perhaps much more unsettling) despair of our drab, alienated daily life of impotence and distrust.
