Lost Highway

Fred, a jazz musician living in the Hollywood Hills, receives strange VHS tapes in the mail, shot from inside his house. Before he can act, Fred is convicted of murdering his wife, Renee, but one night in his cell, he mysteriously disappears, only for a lowly car mechanic, Pete, to appear in his place. Lynch has described his brilliantly staged neo-noir, co-written by Wild at Heart author Barry Gifford, as a ‘psychogenic fugue’, a disorienting Möbius strip-like mystery that folds back on itself, twists inside out, before returning its audience to precisely the point at which they arrived.
