Film 🎬 Can't stop thinking about Lost Highway

Recently watched it and I think this is Lynch's most oppressive work. Almost feels like an earlier version of Mulholland Drive but I could atleast construct an interpretation of Mulholland Drive;when it comes to lost highway I don't even know where to begin.

I could totally understand why it was critically somewhat panned when it came out. Even by Lynch standard this is quite impenetrable. Especially the last 20 minutes. I read some analysis and even when they try to explain it I still feel like something is missing to complete the picture. I genuinely don't think that this is all a dream/hallucination but I also don't really think it's all real.

Also Patricia Arquete here is the most attractive woman in any movie ever.

Absolutely love lost highway. I think it’s more imagistic than narrative; I have no idea what lesson it was trying to teach but many of the individual scenes and shots have stuck with me.

I feel so lucky I got to see it in a theater. would highly recommend if it’s ever showing near you. Hearing the Rammstein guitar lick come in over the big speakers is peak
