Movie No. 58 (2013): LOST HIGHWAY

Lost Highway (1997)
Director: David Lynch
Cast: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty

Synopsis, from IMDB: After a bizarre encounter at a party, a jazz saxophonist is framed for the murder of his wife and sent to prison, where he inexplicably morphs into a young mechanic and begins leading a new life.

Like the title of the film, the film leads the audience to nowhere, but it is the ride. i.e., the experience of seeing it, that matters. The film never bores; on the contrary, it challenges one's imagination, consciousness, or reason. Maybe this is what they call the Lynchian realm. And the things I (just) saw in this film are a reason I love the films of David Lynch.

Date seen: March 4, 2013

Rating: 4.0/4.0
