Review of Lost Highway (1997) by Jayakrishnan R — 15 Jul 2015

Saw this on 16/7/15.
David Lynch is one of the worst directors of all time mostly because he resorts to the same technique that he has been using ever since his first film, ie by making films that no one can understand even if you watch it over a 100 times( that makes the job easy, make a shitty movie, the audience would interpret it into something out of the ordinary). That being said, Lynch's films are an extreme guilty pleasures for me. Lost Highway may be the best work of the director yet.
It's well made and well shot, the acting is fine, but Patricia Arquette is unbearable and she is there only in this film to strip. Though Lynch treats women( in general) in a bad way by using them only for nude scenes, being a man, I find it extremely pleasing to the eye. Unlike the other Lynch films, this one doesn't bore you out, I kept on watching the film, expecting that all air will be cleared by the end.
