A tormented jazz musician finds himself lost in an enigmatic story involving murder, surveillance, gangsters, doppelgängers, and an impossible transformation inside a prison cell.
On January 20, David Lynch turned 77 years old. He is one of the most original directors in the history of cinema with his own unique approach to making movies. Lynch's works always captivate from the first frame and do not let go until the credits. We have collected the top 7 best works of the director.
Unlike the Eraser Head, the Highway is more complex than just a dream. This time, Mr. Lynch, in addition to Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious, encroached on the holy of holies – space and time! The plot in the film is not just confusing – it is overly confusing! To put it simply, nothing is clear. Where are the heroes going? What's going on anyway? Who is this guy with a face like a corpse? And where did this girl come from? Questions will not leave you until the very end of the film, you will still get answers to some of them, but you will have to answer the rest yourself. It is quite possible that you will need half a lifetime and millions of views to do this. This is the main charm of this tape, which lies in the freedom of interpretation – everyone understands what is said in their own way. And if so, the film will never lose its relevance as long as someone searches for deeply hidden meanings and references in it. I would recommend the film only to viewers who are familiar with such a specific genre as art house. The mass audience will consider the film a pretentious craft of a mentally ill person. If I were them, I wouldn't jump to conclusions, it's not for nothing that psychologists claim that there are no completely mentally healthy people. Yes, and there may be deeply hidden secrets in the minds of each of us.
@Demiant: The film is not confusing at all, the narrative is linear like a Mobius strip, everything is straight on the surface. going for answers in the 2nd, 3rd, 10th revision of the tape is the very definition of mania. Don't do that. the film itself does not know what exactly it is trying to achieve. just like the director. so why should the audience understand? but they shouldn't. Relax, it's not some movie that's too good to understand. It's a pretty bad, but watchable movie.
