A masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2003)

This was David Lynch's masterpiece. An astonishing piece of work, pierced together from an abandoned TV series pilot. It does make sense; but not on first viewing. Watch it several times, and the threads start to knit together. Marvel at the humour, the strangeness, the cruelty, the drama, the jealously and the performances, always the performances.
Was Naomi Watts robbed of the Oscar for best actress for this film? Er, we will think about that for a microsecond. Yes, she was. Was there a better female performance in a film released that year? Er, no, there wasn't.
There was not a bad performance by anybody in the film. Justin Theroux. Fantastic. Laura Harring. Fantastic.
Time to check out "Lost Highway" again, methinks.
