Summary: masterpiece that proves films can be art
Review: This movie is without a shadow of a doubt a piece of art. First of if you're looking for a movie that will provide for a fun evening in front of the tv, with a clear obvious storyline that doesn't provoques you...don't buy this one. This movie isn't ment to be watched...it's ment to be experienced. I've read several reviews complaining about the confusing storyline. Whell, this movie doesn't want to tell you a story. This movie want's to make you feel something. It tries to confuse you it tries to take you out of the comfort zone and into a place of doubt and confusion. If your not open for this kind of approach don't buy this. If you can't appreciate modern art cause you can't see what the painter is trying to picture and all you see is stains and shapes...don't buy this movie cause it has the same approach. If your average hollywood film is comparable to a britney spears album, this movie is David Bowie's outside. No entertainment, no cliche's but a painting with immages and story's. If you do however can enjoy modern art, if you are open for a movie that want's to play with your mind instead of put it to sleep...get this movie. Don't watch it...experience it.

Summary: Wannabe "artistic" JUNK!
Review: This review will no doubt get me negative "unhelpfull" numbers on amazon because of the "Lynch Fanatics" out there but I will state MY OPINION anyways. First off, MOST movies claiming (especially from fans or the director himself) to be some form of "art work", or "movie making artistry/masterpiece", should give the average movie go'er a clue. I, MYSELF (IN MY OPINION) have never considered ANY Hollywood film maker an "artist". I suppose "art" IS in the eye of the beholder though or a matter of opinion, but MOVIES are just MOVIES to me. How anyone can call films or movies "art work" I will NEVER understand. Entertaining yes. But "Art work"? Oh well, to each his own opinion. As far as "Lost Highway" goes; This movie is yet another NON-COHERENT GARBAGE of a movie and "wannabe" art bologna. Ask any David Lynch fanatic out there and he or she can't even attempt to explain what this movie's plot or suppossed story is even about. They'll give you the wrap that you are stupid and don't have enough "attention span" to understand the logic and can't "comprenend" real art work. Basically an excuse for "GARBAGE". They should give that bologna a rest and admit that THEY--THEMSELVES can't even attepmt to explain this film. Most importantly, coherently. They just tell you it's art and you'll never get it. Some bologna like that. When they just somehow find facination in NOTHING. I am happy for them that they enjoyed the film and it entertained them. But for anybody that REALLY wants entertainment, or to say the least "be entertained" in the slightest, then don't waste over 2 hours of your time on this GARBAGE of film. I ONLY give it 2 stars because in some parts I enjoyed some of the rediculous things that were going on, however one might TRY to understand it. Lynch's style of camera work (Kubrick rip-off) is very good and always has been. Robert Blake pays a good EVIL person (or Devil-or whatever he was supposed to be) no doubt, the mobster guy was wannbe Soprano-ish and intresting, but as far as any story that makes any sence, NOBODY can explain it. Which IN MY OPINION makes this a horrible movie that IS a waste of time. Was this movie suposed to be about time-travel? A dream? I don't think anybody can explain what was going through Lynch's mind and most imporantly, after 2 hrs.+ and no coherent plot I COULD CARELESS! And for the most part I wished he would give me my money back for wasted time & the price of the ticket to this whatever-it-may-be" so-called movie. I wanted it to be good, it DID sort of keep me WANTING or especially WAITING to find out what the heck is going on.David Lynch HAS made some decent better than average movies that come together: Blue Velvet; Wild At Heart; Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me". This movie does not. Besides "Lost Highway", "Mullholand Drive" is yet another attempt by Lynch to film any garbage he wants and still get his "fanatic" fans to buy tickets to his films and thus calling it "art work" because THEY TRY to find a way to understand it, and the Lynch fanatics really seem to enjoy TRYING to ANALYZE his nutty nonsence movies. If "Lost Highway" & "Mullholand Drive was suppossed to be a form of "David Lynch art work", then "Dune" was a masterpiece. Don't be fooled by the Lynch fanatics out there. They know it's a junk movie. Let them TRY and explain what this movie is about. If it takes more than a paragraph to explain it then just REALIZE the movie sucks and IS NOT Coherent. A waste of 2 hours +.

Summary: Great Movie, Dumb Studios
Review: Lost Highway has been available on DVD for a while now in Canada. The problem is that some genius decided to release it solely in a pan and scan version. As a result, for over the past year, copies of Lost Highway DVDs have been clogging the clearance bins of stores all across the country as true film fans (who else would buy anything by Lynch?) avoid this mutilated version of the film like the plague. I can just picture what the various distributors are thinking: "Someone else already released Lost Highway and it didn't sell. Obviously, nobody wants to buy it." In conclusion, I don't think we'll see a proper release of LH in North America until enough people raise enough of a stink.
