Lost Highway
Director: David Lynch
Actors: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, John Roselius
PlotA jazz saxophonist, Fred Madison, finds his life descending into a nightmarish maelstrom after he and his wife, Renee, start receiving mysterious videotapes. The tapes show footage of their home and subsequently them asleep in bed, challenging their perception of reality and safety. The tension escalates when Fred, already rattled by suspicions of Renee's infidelity and increasingly alienated from his life and music, is invited to a disturbing party thrown by a powerful gangster who may be involved with his wife.
One night, Fred is abruptly arrested for the gruesome murder of Renee, a crime he can't remember committing. Despondently confined to a solitary cell, Fred experiences severe headaches and disorientating visions, which culminate in a shocking and inexplicable transformation. This radical shift sends him spiraling into an alternate life as a young mechanic, Pete Dayton, leading him down a twisting path filled with seduction, danger, and a new identity. Pete's world entangles with mysterious femme fatale characters and shady figures from the criminal underworld, drawing parallels and divergences with Fred's original life.
