“The mind is interesting for sure. Huge! Huge stories in the mind.” After intensely following the O.J. Simpson story, David Lynch imagined what mental gymnastics the mind performs to protect itself from the horrors inflicted on others in order to continue everyday life. The result was Lost Highway, a nightmarish, psychotic break of a noir, containing some of the most unsettling scenes in cinema history and famously using that Rammstein song for the desired ‘shock & awe’. There’s a car accident in Lost Highway that takes place on Mulholland Dr, right around the same shoulder in the road where a limousine crashed in 2001… English language with Dutch subtitles.
