Today from 18:00-21.00 hrs, the UvA Film Club will continue their weekly screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Lost Highway (dir. David Lynch, 1997), with an introduction by Martina Furlan.

Tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, not far from Mulholland Drive, lies a visually intriguing Brutalist house. The residence is not merely a filming location but the personal home of the late David Lynch. It is here, amidst these walls, that Lynch crafted the eerie, labyrinthine world of his 1997 neo-noir opus, Lost Highway. The film unravels as a haunting descent into the subconscious, following Fred Madison (Bill Pullman), a jazz saxophonist who, along with his wife Renee (Patricia Arquette), begins receiving ominous videotapes capturing unsettling footage of their home. As paranoia and dread set in, Fred is drawn into a nightmarish sequence of events that blur the boundaries of identity, time, and reality. The film’s labyrinthine narrative weaves themes of guilt, obsession, and the subconscious into an unforgettable tapestry of psychological horror.

This week’s screening is dedicated to David Lynch whose recent passing has a left an indelible void in the world of art and storytelling. Yet, his legacy endures in works like Lost Highway, where the boundaries of reality dissolve and the ordinary is rendered extraordinary. The film, much like Lynch himself, invites us to traverse the enigmatic corridors of the unknown, leaving them haunted, bewildered and forever changed.
