Summary: Best movie! Worst DVD!
Review: As an ultimate fan of Lynch's work, I am really shocked by this dismal Canadian edition of the truly magnificent Lost Highway - Lynch's truly "grande oeuvre". It's a shame, to say the least, that such a piece of art could be demeaned in such a way by the horrid quality of this recording. And I certainly can't believe Lynch himself would have approved of this outrage. Get the film by all means, but please don't buy this DVD!

Summary: Good movie bad DVD
Review: As for the movie I think there has been enough said on it. As for the dvd quality it's another thing ... maybe some people might be interested by the low price ... even though it'S not always the case but in the case it is ... low price means low quality ... i see people seems to be talking about the sound but man the image is really bad ... ok not bad as you cannot see any detail or it's too dark or something ... no no on that side it's perfect. The only really negative point is that the image is sooooo pixelized ... probably due to it's fullscreen format. As you all know I presume fullscreen is actually a stetch out version of widescreen in order to delete the infamous black bars ... In that case I think they stretch the image without adjusting it afterward ... when you stretch an image imperfections tend to get worst and a readjustement of the color level is require ... too bad they didn't work on that ...

Summary: Arguably Lynch's best
Review: Certainly his most crafted, integrated film. Don't review much, but had to after seeing J Walton's review. Never thought about it, he may be quite right regarding his "moment of death" theory. . . There's an inherent "logic" to the film (if you can use that word with Lynch, and I think you can) that doesn't exist in, say, "Mulholland Drive" (probably because the film cut of "Drive" betrays its origins as a TV pilot. Would've made a great series, a shame it never got off the ground. But I digress). Blake's performance scares the heck out of me, and there are some truly frightening moments throughout the film that are reminiscent of dreams I've had. Lynch captures the emotion and logic of dreams in this film better than anyone I've ever seen. Hard to explain, but this film continues to haunt me. . . . Haven't seen the DVD, so I can't comment on the technical aspects, or the extras. If you haven't seen this, and you're remotely interested in Lynch's work, well then, shame on you!

Summary: WARNING! STOP! RED LIGHT! LISTEN UP!
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS LOST HIGHWAY IMPORT DVD! I should have trusted the other reviewer who said that the transfer quality is beyond awful because it is! Honestly, the quality of this import DVD is as bad as a poor quality bootleg DVD. There is a small strip on the left side of the picture because the picture isn't centered. The look of the picture is very poor and grainy. The sound does not even match up with the picture. I love this movie, but do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this import DVD. The VHS version not only looks better than the import DVD, but it is also in widescreen.

Summary: "The Lost" Lost Highway
Review: First off, I agree with a previous review of this DVD. It is a total sham. I can't tell you how disgusted I was after purchasing this movie from Canada.

I am only giving this movie One star because it is atleast a DVD, although it seems more like a VHS transferred onto DVD.

There are no improvements at all. The colors are appauling at best. The image and sound of this movie are so poor that I nearly through this movie in the garbage. They totally Lost this one. I am embarresed for David Lynch. Everytime I want to show this movie to my friends I instead rent the VHS. With a little luck I can get a decent VHS copy that is Widescreen and not totally jacked up.

David Lynch is one of the most icnredible director's out there and I am so surprised that all of his movies are still not available. Mulholland Dr. comes out very soon and still no mention of Eraser Head, Lost Highway, or Wild at Heart. Take a note Distribution companies...The true Lynch masterpieces are still waiting for the DVD treatment.

Summary: This refers to the German DVD edition
Review: Help is coming !!! There is a German edition of the "Lost Highway" DVD (out since 2000 ; RC 2). Order from www.amazon.de !!!
This movie is a pure genius' work anyway . The German DVD is from UFA/BMG and has the German and English language soundtracks in DD 5.1. Extra features are: Interviews with cast as well as trailers (link: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004TFRF)
Hope this might help: IT'S WIDESCREEN (and that's necessary)

(For approx. US$ 20)

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!
Review: I bought this DVD without noticing it wasn't widescreen because the store sticker was on top of the info. I was pretty mad when I got home and realized this. Then I sat down to watch it. I got hysterical. This is the worst DVD I have ever seen!!!! The compression looks like a bad internet stream, there's a faint white line that flashes randomly across the picture (like a ghost image), the sound is ordinary at best. I don't know who did this hack job but I certainly intend to find out and complain. I'm sure a high school kid with an iMac would've done a better job at compressing this movie. It honestly looks like a copy of a copy of a pirated copy!

David Lynch is one of my favorite directors and I just can't believe he approved this. If you need a Lynch fix, get Blue Velvet and wait for a "real" version of Lost Highway. This edition is absolute trash.
