La gloria del ducado de Carniola

Lost Highway is a film of David Lynch, left in 1997.

Synopsis

Fred Madison is saxophonist. He suspects his Renee wife of misleading it. In same time, it receives vidéos. Filmed by an unknown, they show the apartment of Fred and Renee, seen outside then interior. Later, another video Fred watch beside the body of his assassinated wife. He then is condemned to died for this murder but a mysterious man tears off it with this destiny by an average unknown. Fred Madison finds himself then in the skin of another man but, as in a dream, the elements of its past little by little will reappear, in a different form.

The film is thus composed of two parts which show the assassination of Renee Madison according to the point of view of the various personalities of Fred Madison. Commercial failure at the time of its exit, Lost Highway divides the spectators owing to the fact that the keys of the enigma and the intentions of the realizer appear too fuzzy to be able to be explained perfectly.

This work however remains one of most characteristic of David Lynch, which in extreme cases of the experimental Film made question the spectator, by in particular treating topics of the Schizophrénie (various identities of the main character) and omniscient capacity of the realizer (who could be represented by the mysterious man , modelling the destiny of Fred Madison to his own way).
