Editorial Reviews

Product Description
From the very first moments of David Lynch's debut film, Eraserhead, it was clear that a distinctive new director had arrived. The unique TV series Twin Peaks that no one has been able to duplicate placed him straight into our living rooms. No one sees the world like Lynch, and after seeing Lost Highway, his latest film, the world will never be the same again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overlooked Masterpiece, August 21, 2000

By	Mr. Egregious - See all my reviews

Though Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive were all nominated for Oscars, Lost Highway, in many respects, stands as THE standard for Lynch films. Through its use of highly stimulating visuals, intriguing plot, abstract characterization, and philosophical, as well as psychological, insight, this work stands as, not only as one of Lynch's best, but one of the best filmatic achievements in the latter part of the 20th century. The film was immensely cut, however the script is here in its entirety. The script clarifies a lot of the lose ends of the visual work. A must-have for any Lynch fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Key to the Highway, November 16, 1998

By	Bill Myers (USA) - See all my reviews

Quite simply the most underrated film of 1997, Lost Highway is a challenging, and intriguing work from David Lynch. To those unable or unwilling to follow the non-linear narrative, the screenplay offers no "solutions", but does give us a few extra glimpses into this compelling world, and makes an indispensable companion to the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about David Lynch, and it's good., January 19, 2003

By	Biff "dolcry" (Thornhill, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

It's about the greatest artist of any time, so the book couldn't possibly be bad. It's very well worth the purchase. It's also hard to get, so buy it while you still can.
