“Lost Highway”David Lynch’s first post-Twin Peaks film might be his darkest work—literally and figuratively. Darkly lit, it’s Lynch at his most noir, turning LA in to a nightmares-scape

The protagonist of Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) might be the most cynical of Lynch’s leads

Also, this is really the last we see of big-screen “big budget” cinematic Lynch. Mulholland Drive was reconfigured TV and Inland Empire was shot on DV Cam. Lynch hasn’t made anything on film since

Balthazar Getty is great as mechanic Pete Dayton who falls for a gangsters moll

How could I not mention Robert Blake’s performance as the Mystery Man? He’s incredible.

Sadly, the movie was not released on DVD for a while due to Blake’s murder trial. Kind of fits the aesthetic of the film though
