Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about a movie I saw the last week:

The name of the movie is “Lost Highway” and the director of this was David Lynch. Like other works of Lynch, this film has a very allegoric and surrealist atmosphere, which make it a few difficult to understand. Nonetheless, I think the movie presents the history of Fred, a deranged man whose relationship with his wife (Renee) was very conflicted, at the point that she tricked him with another man. In his jealousy Fred killed the guy and his own wife and then he was sentenced to the electric chair. Also, when he was in prison, his madness makes him create a new life in his mind, as a form to scape to the terrible reality he provoked and his own guilt.

The think is: The movie doesn’t present coherent or chronologically the plot. We only know the plot through Fred’s deranged perspective, so all the events are present in disorder and, most of the time, with metaphors. Besides, we see Fred’s two histories simultaneously in the film, but we never know what is real and what is fake.

I think this is a really good movie and, also, a good exercise to question the form we all perceive (or not) the reality where we live.
