    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I wouldn't recommend this to the hard-of-thinking. This is David Lynch trying his hardest to make you lose the plot.

    Half way through this film the lead character changes from one actor to another. Then all the other characters change their names.

    How does this help us solve the mystery of the murder of the jazz saxophonist's wife? Who is the bizarre man at the party? Who is the albino cowboy? Who was sending the video tapes? Can Balthazar Getty act? Who cares???

    Surrealism is the key. This film is a dream, or more accurately the co-incidence between one dream and another... If you feel like a rollercoaster ride into the unexpected... this will leave you dazed and confused.

    And that's the whole idea isn't it?

  • confusing and pointless

    I do 'weird', but this was not for me. I just found it too slow. Robert Loggia was completely wasted in this film. If it hadn't been for Arquette's beauty and costume changes, I wouldn't have been able to get to the end

    Youve gotta be in the Mood for a David Lynch film. I remember seeing Eraser Head at the Arty Farty Cinema in Manchester my jaw open....not enjoying it... but I couldnt stop watching....it was amazing visual experience. I erm....didnt finish watching Lost Hightway.

    Im sat there thinking ' Ive seen this bit before...and this bit.....and so on and infact I had. Its a new story just with all the usual David Lynch cliches...and I got fed up thinking the story needed a rocket up its bum and turned it off!

    Maybe I'll try again when Im feeling more Arty Farty...which doe's happen!!!

    I have now watched most of Lynch's output and I would place this in the same camp as Mullholland Drive. I'm not sure if the complications can be fully rationally reconcilled, this is possibly one of his more confusing films but not as much as 'Inland Empire'. I suspect most Lynch fans do not mind too much. If you are looking to watch your first Lynch you might prefer 'Blue Velvet' to start with, or series 1 of 'Twin Peaks' (not the prequel). If you are more likely to say 'you have only the right to look or not look' than 'pretentious twaddle' it's more likely to be for you. I ended up feeling, after two viewings, mildly irritated by the plot but could sit through it again, which I can't say about much except 'Casablanca' and 'Jamon, Jamon'.

    From the begining to the end I along with my wife were at a loss what it was about. A total waste of time.

    I only rented this film due to having the soundtrack which is total badass and that Pat Arquette is in it who is such an underrated actress. I left watching it thinking possibly one of the greatest films i have ever witnessed but i have no idea what it's really about... I'm guessing it is supposed to be more of a dreamworld experience and you have to focus on the characters and their relationships more than any kind of plot of storyline. If your brain isn't capable of handling something that does not make any sense at all then you are going to hate this film! But if you want something that leaves you thinking about it and want to admire Arquette looking beautiful then give it a go :)
