20th Anniversary of the Film

The 1990s were a turbulent time for David Lynch. As the decade began, his hit TV show, award-winning Wild at Heart, and dabbling in other media, rapidly elevated the director to the status of pop culture icon. Sadly, by 1997 Lynch had been relegated back to the fringes of the art film world.

David Lynch describes 'Lost Highway' as a "psychogenic fugue." The film tells the story of Fred Madison, a saxophonist, accused under mysterious circumstances of murdering his wife. On death row, he inexplicably morphs into a young man named Pete Dayton, leading a completely different life.

Filmography: Inland Empire  (2006), Mulholland Drive (2001), Wild at Heart (1990), Blue Velvet (1986), Dune (1984), The Elephant Man (1980).
