Editorial Review:
Plot is a meaningless term when trying to describe Lost Highway. Here, more or less, is what happens: A noise-jazz saxophonist (Bill Pullman) suspects his wife (Patricia Arquette) of infidelity. Meanwhile, someone is breaking into their house and videotaping them while they sleep. The wife is murdered and Pullman is convicted of the crime. Then, in prison, he transmogrifies into a young mechanic (Balthazar Getty) who is subsequently released, since, after all, he's not the guy they convicted. Getty goes back to his life and meets a local gangster's moll, who happens to be played by Patricia Arquette... but none of this has much to do with what the movie is really about. Dreams are what intrigues director David Lynch. Not friendly, happy dreams; his dreams whisper that what we think is real is just something we made up, something to keep ourselves from falling into chaos. Characters are fragments. Events happen not because they make sense, but because deep down we want these things to happen. Of course, in Lynch's dreams, as in our waking lives, getting what we want is not always pleasant. In the movie's best moments, you really have no idea what you're seeing. The screen is a big rectangle of color and shadow, but what it represents, well, it could be anything. And yet, in those moments, you've been given just enough hints of place, character, and story that these elusive images elicit a genuine dread, a sense that you might not want to see this, yet you can't look away; a sense that we are living on borrowed time, that something is fiercely askew in our psyches. As a whole, Lost Highway is a failure: much of it is padded, gratuitous, and indulgent and pointless cameos bog down an already sluggish narrative. Yet within that failure are moments worth more than the entirety of most successful movies. --Bret Fetzer

Lost Highway [IMPORT] Reviews:
Lost Highway not so good
2009-10-27 - The film quality is excellent and the DVD transfer didn't lose much. The actors are top notch, but the storyline is just weird and difficult to follow. I found the first half boring and was ready to pull the plug, but it got better in the second half. If there was a plot in there, I could not find it. If you are looking for an easy to follow, entertaining movie, Lost Highway is not the one for you.

Fantastic Movie!
2009-10-12 - I love this movie! There are twists and turns. It's probably one of my favorite Lynch movies!

Lost writing, plot, direction and editing on the Highway
2009-08-22 - Sometimes you wonder why people put money, time and talent into a piece of garbage like this. If they had only given me the funds that were wasted on this movie, I would have invested it and made millions.
Neo-Noir? I'd spell it C-R-A-P. The script flew out of the car, onto the highway and wasn't numbered. So they just stapled it all together without checking with anyone and you got this.

It was like watching a Charlie Sheen look-alike acting badly. At 82 minutes into the movie (a miracle I go that far into it) I was contemplating pulling out the DVD and using it for target practice at the range. Robert Loggia played his oft-repeated tough-guy mobster role, Gary Busey in his pre-druggie days, and Patricia Arquette as the spaced-out, airhead girlfriend of Mr. Eddy (Loggia) who likes "doing it" with the Charlie Sheen guy (I forgot and don't care what his name was). Robert Blake played a hideous little imp with flour makeup.

I truly believe these type movies are made for when you are either drunk or stoned; or both. At 107 minutes you'll either be laughing out loud or screaming for the director's head. I'd be like Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder, and have the Key Grip punch out the Director and then I'd improvise and have the rest of the crew punch out the writer(s). Oh yeah, Bill Pullman wasn't very convincing as the spaced-out screeching sax player earlier in this tripe. You know what? Everyone involved in this movie was spaced-out.

What do you do with garbage? You throw it out. Do the same with this movie.

"I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened"
2009-07-12 - If it helps any, consider the short film that Lost Highway draws some inspiration from:

"This film is concerned with the interior experiences of an individual. It does not record an event which could be witnessed by other persons. Rather, it reproduces the way in which the subconscious of an individual will develop, interpret and elaborate an apparently simple and casual incident into a critical emotional experience." --Maya Deren on Meshes of the Afternoon, from DVD release Maya Deren: Experimental Films 1943-58.

It kills me that the Criterion Collection has "Benjamin Button" in the Blu-ray mix, but not "Lost Highway".

Either I'm going deaf or the movie volume stinks
2009-07-05 - Haven't watched but 5 minutes of the movie because the volume of the movie is so low I can't hear anything being said unless I turn it up to 30 on my television where I usually have it at 8 or 10! I'll try watching on my computer with my headset cranked and see if I can't make out what is said,
