Description

On Wednesday, January 15, David Lynch passed away at the age of 78. To commemorate his death and celebrate his work, Cinecitta will screen one of his films every day for a whole month. David Lynch was seen as the figurehead of American surrealist cinema. He was known for his thrillers in which he combined sexuality, mystery, and dark humor with stylistic beauty.

David Lynch’s Lost Highway is a hypnotic journey into the dark depths of the human psyche, where noir, horror, and surrealism come together in an unforgettable cinematic experience. The film follows jazz musician Fred Madison, played by Bill Pullman, as he descends into a nightmarish world of murder, identity shifts, and ominous doppelgängers. Lynch's masterful direction, combined with Angelo Badalamenti's chilling score and a haunting soundtrack, creates an atmosphere of fear and discomfort. With its enigmatic narrative and disorienting images, Lost Highway challenges viewers to question the nature of reality and the self. It remains one of Lynch’s most disturbing and enigmatic works, a true masterpiece within psychological cinema.
