Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
There is almost no reason to review a movie like 'Lost Highway'. You will
like it or you will not. Of course you can say this with any movie, but with
this one it is different. If you have seen it you only have seen a couple of
great scenes in a row. Together they doesn't make any sense, I think you
can't figure it out, and I guess that is not even the point. I liked most of
the scenes, I liked the score, I liked the suspense that was created. What I
didn't like was the fact that I was left with nothing. I realized that
trying to figure this out, to have my own theory would not make any
difference. Is there no time in Lynch his world? Are some characters
actually the same? I didn't care, but I liked the mystery.
The style is great, and if you care for other things than story and
characters there is much to like here. Still, as a complete movie I am not
sure what I think of it. I was never bored and therefor it is good enough to
give it a chance.
