No director understands better than Lynch the uncanny strangeness of the fact that cinema is a kind of collective dream, that experience is a kind of cinema, and that the background of our own dreams is our accumulated cinematic experience. Perhaps this movie is the best illustration of that tripartite understanding. A film that can be properly viewed only at high volume in a well-equipped movie theatre. Blu-ray disc is a poor transfer but still the next best option. Re-watched September 2017.

Scary nightmare, sexy neo-noir and mindfucking mystery combined into a brilliant fever dream. Chasing Lynch's carefully placed clues is a fun bonus but, for me, this one is all about the atmosphere. No other filmmaker envokes dread and a sense of foreboding through sound and visuals quite like Lynch.

There are many aspects to this that will divide viewers, but one of Lynch's most abstract works behind INLAND EMPIRE has been stuck in my head ever since I first watched it. It has continued to compel me with its dark and surreal structure on another viewing, and its now one of David Lynch's best films for me.

Much of Lynch's work can be described as variations on a theme, and while it was mostly Lost Highway's horrific moments I recalled - "We've met before, haven't we?" - I think this could frankly be described as his sexiest film, even moreso than Mulholland Drive. Also possibly his funniest, with Robert Loggia absolutely devouring the screen every second he's on it. And it warms my heart to know Lynch is as fond of This Mortal Coil's "Siren Song" as I am.

Noir iconography twisted into a vaguely circular horror miasma, so terrifying because it is so unknowable. Like a dream or deja vu, anything might emerge from those darkest spaces of the frame, later impossible to decipher with any logical clarity other than how we feel it might have happened.

Mysterious, beautiful and weird. When it comes to Lynch's more surreal work, many people like to simply get swept away by it and not think too much about what it might mean (even Lynch himself does that, to a certain extent), but to me, trying to figure out what's going on is half the fun. And if hopelessly trying to figure out what the hell is happening on screen sounds like a good time to you, then you can't go wrong with Lost Highway.

Rollins! Busey! LOGGIA! More nightmarish shenanigans from Lynch, with a lot of shagging chucked into the mix. The soundtrack was pretty odd. Robert Blake was very creepy. Lost Highway is compelling, challenging but (reasonably) comprehensible, and very entertaining; Lynch's grasp of the craft ensures a level of quality control. Like Mulholland Drive, my understanding of the plot, etc, is growing (I think) as time passes - this'll be worth another watch to see what else is revealed. Decent.

Undeniably Lynchian, spinning a fascinating and enthralling web that almost, but never completely, makes sense within its own nightmare logic. Boiling the film down to its essence, I dug it. But I had a few problems with the execution. Pullman is good, but Arquette just does nothing for me, and Getty just seems wrong, like he doesn't quite understand the material. Secondly, I don't want to sound prudish, but do we need that many sex scenes? And the soundtrack is half wonderful and half horrible.

Loved it; the puzzle refered to by user th_mertens is indeed an ellaborate one, but I do not believe it stops at the plot. While you can get bogged down with so much connected symbolism in the soundtrack, effects, script, etc, I believe to really enjoy any Lynch film, one needs to reflect simply on the big picture. This is a film about fate and free will; what horrors and ecstacies can be found at the end of vastly different paths. A good identity crisis or two is essential for Lynchian film.

David Lynch can be a frustrating filmmaker at times. He never fails to impress with his talent and style as a director, but this left me feeling empty and disappointed. Unlike some of his other films, there's no depth or meaning to be found beneath the bizarre plot. I kept on wanting for something meaningful to happen between the characters, but all I got was more Lynchian weirdness and (tons of) sex scenes. Still there are some good scenes like the tailgating one, and some fantastic images.

I've seen it quite a few times, now, but I'm still noticing details I'd missed before, like how when the uncanny starts to invade the domestic scenes in the beginning of the movie the camera's placed above eyelevel, looking down on Pullman. I'm also struck now by how much closer Inland Empire is to it in style than Mulholland Drive. Underestimated in Lynch's canon.

I'll be upfront with the idea that I'm not sure I picked up everything on my first watch, but even so, Lost Highway was an experience. I think the actors did incredible jobs with their roles, and as my first Lynch film, I can say that I had a great, if not challenging time. Sometimes I need that challenge in my life, and Lost Highway delivered on all fronts.

Compulsively watchable, deliriously creepy and above all beautifully crafted, with some of the very finest and most poetic stretches of Lynch's filmography. Although it most lacks the devastating emotional punch of the similar (and superior) Mulholland Drive, it does sort of make up for that by being so damn beautifully shot and overall more "cinematic" in feel. A wonderful mind-fuck of a film that I can watch endlessly, precisely because it doesn't ever solve its own mysteries.

Lost Highway is one of Lynch's most Lynch-like films, and that's in the most complimentary state possible. From the first segment all the way to the intense and surprisingly cohesive ending, Lost Highway screams out with hilarity, insanity, despairity, and all the other great qualities that make up Lynch's characteristics. The acting is superb but the story and style is truly where it shines. If you're interested in seeing what makes Lynch so great, Lost Highway is a good example.

This film convinced me that David Lynch is simply playing an elaborate hoax on the moviegoing public. It's as though he goes out of his way to make his films as pointlessly bizarre and unsettling as possible, and then unleashes them on an unwitting public, sits back, and chuckles with self-satisfied glee as film studies students and regular cinephiles alike discuss and interpret meaning where none exists.

One of Lynch's greatest, like a postmodern-day 'Vertigo', if I can be forgiven for invoking, solely for periodisation purposes ('Vertigo' was already modern-day, after all), a concept that is so very late twentieth century. (No-one can build an academic career anymore organised solely around one's erotic relationship to the word 'postmodernism'.)

Bizarre, wilfully obscure exercise by Lynch may have even less genuine subtext or 'meaning' than usual (except Lynch's recurring fascination with identity) -- but repeat viewings firm the logic and construction of the plotline so that on a subconscious level, everything 'fits', even if it still makes little sense. Hypnotic (and oftentimes terrifying) scenes and situations abound, especially whenever a marvellously creepy Blake is on-screen. A genuine one-off, even in the Lynch canon.

(Un)bearably slow to begin with, and then things happen in their own Lynch way over and over again and the movie continues to get better. The Mystery-Man is such a great creation; he has one scene where he shifts the mood from unknowing dread to laugh-at-of-your seat hilarity. Well, might not be funny for everyone, but I really did laugh out of my seat.

A film about mirrors and doubles which, predictably, is difficult to understand. This is probably the film people think of when they think of David Lynch. I like when the film turned into a nu-metal music video towards the end with a ton of Rammstein and Marilyn Manson (cue angry Critickers mad at my insinuation that Rammstein and Manson are nu-metal).

Lynch somehow conjures a new form of supernatural reality & lets it play out before us in Lost Highway leveraging nineties cool along the way. The film stock cinematography is worth noting as well as the stop start ST that utilizes Rammstein (remember Rammstein?) frequently. I think the true highlights are the intermittent moments of emotional dread captured in an obscure but deafeningly accurate form, using all available film techniques. We've met before haven't we?

Instead of guessing what it is supposed to mean, wouldn't it be more productive to look at what the movie actually is? We may discover that the essence of the story is the two most generic noir motives: "a dame to kill for" and "a wrongfully accused", both of which are extremely schematic and underdeveloped. The endless praises yet imply the very debatable claim: that simplistic mediocrity of the plot's comprehensible parts is completely redeemed by the coarse surrealistic sews here and there.

Top badass moment? Mr. Eddy dealing with the tailgater. As the driver of a speed-limited van that people in cars think it’s their right to overtake, I can relate to his indignant fury. (For information, Range Rover drivers are the worst.) This is a movie about the consequences of losing your satnav, which was made before civilian GPS systems were in widespread use. It also features a character who looks like a cross between Dave Vanian and Dave Greenfield. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Rewatched January 2016. Similar to Mulholland Drive it depicts a guilty person having an elaborate fantasy of innocence.

Somehow amidst the nonsensical series of events, Lost Highway is able to sustain a consistent atmosphere of dread and mystery. Though it's not a horror movie, it contains a handful of wonderfully unsettling scenes. The scene where Robert Blake's character talks to Pullman's character on the phone, for example, is one of the creepiest I've seen. Lynch is great at making non-horror films truly scary.

Just like in any other Lynch movie Lost Highway is a giant puzzle. And I'm not talking about the plot, but just every other aspect of it. The acting, the soundtrack, the dialogues, the cinematography, the light-effects, ... everything fits and every single aspect completes the other ones. But while this puzzle is doable, the plot is a big mistery and that's where Lynch lost me in this one. (Mulholland Drive seems to be the improved version of Lost Highway.)

The relentless formalism of INLAND EMPIRE is more to my taste, but this is really good. I expect Robert Blake's "Mystery Man" will visit me again in my nightmares.

I didn't know that horror noir could be a thing, let alone a thing that could retain its identity with a metal soundtrack. One can still be surprised. This might be my least favourite Lynch so far, next to Eraserhead, but I'll say this: it's interesting and I enjoyed it. It's got style and it doesn't feel like dark, gratuitous whimsy for the sake of it, which is probably an easy impression to find oneself with here. Worth watching purely for the scenes with Robert Blake.

The dream narrative itself is surprisingly well thought-out, but it's constantly one missing piece away from being a truly brilliant nonlinear story - I suppose that's the point but it's still a tiny bit frustrating when the film ends seemingly minutes away from everything coming together. Stylistically, the dreary colorless bleakness complements all its scenes well, even if I personally prefer the pervasive and indulgent styles of Wild at Heart and Blue Velvet over the more subtle tones here.

I was very excited to see this movie, but also very young. I wasn't "hip" to the ways of Lynch like I am now. I just remember it being a little too weird for my tastes, but Marilyn Manson's cameo was cool.

Should've been shorter, and should've had less fucking Ramstein. Don't listen to people who say it's incomprehensible; if you pay a little attention, you will likely have no trouble understanding its series of events. I will no doubt be trying to piece together its specifics over the next few days - so while Lost Highway sometimes bored or annoyed me with shitty music, it was horrifying, funny, bizarre, and smart enough to make me ponder it, which is worth something.

Won't even pretend I understood what was going on, but had a great time just getting taken for a ride by it. Outstanding soundtrack too.

fängt gut beklemmend an, am Ende jedoch immer konventioneller und zu viel Blut

A great film marred by some awkwardly edited soundtrack selections seemingly aimed at pandering to a younger demographic. The rest is pure Lynch.

The transformation, although appropriately surreal, suffers from a stylistic incongruity and a severe lack of vision in execution. The rest of the film has its rare moments of brilliance, although this is mostly offset by it's maudlin obsession with itself that constantly undermines the mystery of the narrative. A lesser Lynch is certainly still an enjoyable experience, but nevertheless remains a glaring contradiction to the exceptional work of the artist.

Incredibly stylish and moody, it hardly matters that I could barely figure out what was happening for long stretches.

Wonderful, classic David Lynch. I love Balthazar Getty! Brilliant, beautiful, creepy.

Very Lynchian - full of interesting ideas, sex and violence and headache inducing weirdness. The metaphorical highway in this movie leads nowhere in particular, but the ride is an extraordinary, subversive work of art.

Creepy brilliance and an obvious inspiration to the very different but perhaps even better Caché.
