Lost Highway in 4K

I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath. —David Lynch

Writer-director Lynch confronts the concept of suburban Americana through the wholesome Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) and his unwitting descent into the nocturnal underworld of nightclubs, unspeakable violence, and seedy criminals. Dennis Hopper reignited his career with his turn as psychopath Frank Booth, whose twisted relationship with lounge singer Dorothy Vallens—a captivating Isabella Rossellini, playing against type—becomes an obsession for Jeffrey, to the distress of his chaste girlfriend, Sandy Williams (Laura Dern). A profound and disturbing opus—Lynch’s fourth feature, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Director—reveals society's seamy side, a topic that fascinated Lynch throughout his career.

Spirited ingénue Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) sets off to Hollywood with dreams of stardom. When she arrives, she comes upon a mysterious woman, Rita (Laura Elena Harring), overcome with amnesia following a car accident. As they investigate Rita’s identity, they discover the dark underbelly of the film industry. Lynch was inspired to pay tribute to the titular drive, saying that one can feel the city’s history driving through the winding road that stretches from the Hollywood Hills to the Santa Monica Mountains. For his skillful orchestration of the film’s complex plot and distinct tone, Lynch was nominated for Directing at the 74th Oscars.
