Product description

Product Description

Saxophonist Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) receives a series of videos showing the exterior, then the interior, of the house he shares with his wife Renee (Patricia Arquette). Then, after meeting a mysterious man at a party, he receives another tape showing him with Renee's dismembered corpse. Found guilty of her murder, Fred is put in prison, where he inexplicably transforms into another person - mechanic Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty) - who is set free and goes to work for Mr Eddy (Robert Loggia), a gangster who is dating Alice (Arquette again), Renee's blonde doppelgänger. Directed by David Lynch.

From Amazon.co.uk

David Lynch's Lost Highway is one of the most puzzled over movies of the 1990s. After Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart audiences were prepared for more questions than answers. But this mystery is without doubt the most sinister and disturbing of all his work, which is to say it's arguably the most worthy of puzzling out.

Bill Pullman goes to jail for murdering his wife Patricia Arquette the Brunette. He metamorphoses into Balthazar Getty who falls for Patricia Arquette the Blonde. They're involved in many bad things. Getty morphs back to Pullman who's left with neither girl, but a lot of explaining to do about how Robert Loggia was involved with both and who/what on earth Robert Blake is. There are no straight answers.

It might just be possible to twist the film into a Moebius strip and work out half the chronology, but that would be missing the point. Lynch makes paintings that move and if they happen to tell a tale (thank you The Straight Story), that's just a happy by-product. This film is "about" a lot of things: obsession, the impossible notion of owning a partner, why tailgating is wrong. Beyond that, it's about nothing more than enjoying just how sensually delicious everything looks and sounds on Lynch's Highway.

On the DVD: Lost Highway is presented on disc in Lynch's preferred 2.35:1 ratio (anamorphically enhanced), even if it isn't the cleanest of transfers. Sound however, is only two channel stereo, whereas 5.1 mixes do exist elsewhere. The teaser trailer is hardly worth the effort. --Paul Tonks

A dark trip worth taking. . . . . . .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 October 2018

Verified Purchase

From the opening title sequence, accompanied by David Bowie’s I’m Deranged, it is obvious that one is literally being taken on a dark ride to an undetermined destination, and as the story progresses it becomes obvious that all is not what it seems.

It begins creepily with a couple, Fred (Bill Pullman) and Renee (Patricia Arquette) being sent a videotape of somebody filming the exterior of their home. As more tapes arrive over time, they begin to reveal that whoever is filming has managed to enter their home. But there has been no forced entry, so who is responsible? Amidst this situation, Fred has his suspicions about the fidelity of his wife, but they are just suspicions, and his resignation and repressed feelings prevent any meaningful confrontation. Then one dark night.......

This, as it turns out is only the beginning of a nightmare where reality is in question, and the answers, if any, are sometimes undefinable. There are many twists and turns, but strangely enough there is a demented logic to it all. Have I witnessed the delusions of a man suffering from schizophrenia or diassaociative personality disorder? Is it all a bad dream or is it a never ending loop of one man’s hell? The viewer can decide this for themselves.

A strange, beguiling, intriguing and seductive film and one of my three favourite David Lynch films; the other two being Eraserhead and Blue Velvet. It looks great, sounds great, and is still a fascinating ride into the darkest depths of the subconscious.

The Blu ray transfer looks great, but I have deducted one star because of a lack of extras that are actually related to the film itself. The dvd release from cinema club did that at the very least. However, there are 4 short audio/visual experiments, and 6 short films that will please Lynch completists.

Enjoy the ride!

Disturbed Fairy Story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 May 2016

Verified Purchase

Usual, intriguing unhinged Lynch drama and he after all is the master of this. I was going to say 'genre' but Lynch is out there by himself so the 'genre' is all his own. It is a genre of the dream where the viewer is rendered in a half awake state to wonder which bits are happening and which are the result of a disturbed imagination. I feel his films are compulsive viewing and even upon second viewing when you know you don't like the content of what is coming next you feel compelled to suffer it yet again. In short, I do not think I like the content of his films yet still regard them as accomplished. Like those awful fairy stories I heard as a child that enthralled me on one hand yet disturbed my psyche for days afterwards. Curiously, he avoids the fetishistic excesses of Tarantino's later work (exclude Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and even Kill Bill vol. 1 which have excesses but which still retain something to respect) that say lots about Tarantino himself but very little else. I am certain Lynch is better than Tarantino because of this and is a great director as opposed to Tarantino who almost got there but lost the plot (s) somewhere. Neither are in the same ball park as directors such as Fellini, Bunuel, Bela Tarr and Luc Godard however in my opinion.

Mr. D. Rowley

This standalone release Blu Ray does not freeze!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 July 2012

Verified Purchase

Having purchased and returned the debacle that was the David Lynch Blu Ray boxset, I just wanted to write a quick review to confirm that, unlike the boxset version of Lost Highway, this standalone release is NOT faulty, and does not skip/ jump/ freeze at the (approximately) 1hr 20min mark.

As far as I'm aware, Universal have yet to give an indication of when they'll sort out the problems with the boxset, so I've started to purchase them individually. Please also note that the standalone Blu Ray's DON'T come with the postcards of the disc covers that come with the boxset, which is a bit of a shame, but I'd prefer a working film to a postcard.

Although I haven't purchased it yet (and am unlikely to at this stage), I understand that the sound issues with the Fire Walk With Me Blu Ray release are on both the boxset AND standalone releases, so I'd guard against purchasing that one yet, as we all know how important sound is in a David Lynch film!

Five stars, of course, for a fantastic film. As you'd expect from Lynch: weird, wonderful, and able to get completely under your skin. Others have written much better reviews of the film itself. I just wanted to clarify on the technical issues.

They may be rewarding or annoying –you either love them or hate them

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 February 2016

Verified Purchase

The films of David Lynch may be a matter of acquired taste: They may be rewarding or annoying –you either love them or hate them?

I don’t have a problem with the odd storyline of this film –nor do I mind the unpredictability of mind probing weirdness: The problem I have is the pedantic and slow pace of dialogue that hallmarks the style throughout the film. Because of this, the film feels pretentious: much of the dialogue gives me free time to divert my thoughts from the slow exchange of conversation – it is as though there is another dimension -in silence of sound: It is like acting in slow motion as if the characters were controlled by puppet strings?

I am not trying to be funny here, but the film left me feeling empty of spirit, and I felt nothing in reward by the end of the film: It was filmed in personal taste and expression by the film director, and has a fuzzy energy of escapism from painful reality in atmospheric music. If only the film could have had a faster pace to compress the film from 129 minutes running time to –say - 90 minutes of viewing – I could have been more relaxed with the style?

masterpiece.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 31 October 2019

Lynch, Ive had issues with this director before. I don't like Mulholland Drive, I know because Ive watched it three or four times just to be sure but this , 'this tickles me right on the spot. Absolutely brilliant.
Obvious its not your average dark noir fare, there's bits of Quentin Tarantino and sometimes even a near music video but the story line is always foremost in your mind. Some might think its hard to understand but its all there and like a Picasso, you just have to look from the right angle and its a pure masterpiece.
