Thus, Lynch, by installing three different actors for a single character, burdens the audience throughout the film to rationally rearrange the plot. This task the director readily assists by deploying recurring tropes that reinvoke the segments of disconnected filmic sequences.
For instance, the visions of Fred murduring Renee persists even when Pete takes over the misc-en-scene. Fred's spontaneous delirium in the death row returns to haunt Pete. Whereas Pete does not resemble Fred, Renee and Alice look the same, except for their hair colors with the latter's blonde hair color,traditionally representing promiscuity than dark hair.
The 20 best Mystery/Thriller Movies
Lastly, the Mystery Man sustains his omnipresence throughout the plot, appearing as a morally ambivalent, disinterested spectator to Fred's impotent reality and Pete's fantasy world-terrifying Fred in the former while vindicating Pete in the latter. The audience, as the film proceeds, hitherto gradually unravels and rejonts the seemingly incoherent narrative by attempting to mentally re-wind and reintegrate the uncanny overlaps between Pete's variegated personas.
Lynch's suspense-evoking technique recalls that in the film discussed earlier, "That Obscure Object of Desire In the vicious cycle of illusory comfort and backlash, the diegetic characters in the two film noirs blindly struggle with their essential impotence to their fated deaths. However, whereas "That Obscure Object of Desire" employs two different actresses for one woman, "Lost Highway" depicts multiple actors to depict different personas that may or may not be the same beings.
What is the thematic signifcance of this differece, in terms of film noir's specific characteristics?

For one thing, the former film, by allowing two different actresses to co-exist and altercate as the same Conchita, oscillates Matthieu's voyeuristic gaze. Until the end, the viewers are left uncertain whether Conchita can be subjected under the male protagonist's persistent gaze. Also, whereas Matthieu's pursuit of Conchita despite her mercurial nature leads to the turbulent lovers' untimely deaths, Fred's imagined transformations endow him an ephemeral, delusory haven from his impotence and later, execution on electric chair.
Christine: As I discussed in my post, Lynch uses imagery and themes that are quasi-supernatural throughout "Lost Highway". What is the significance of this, do you think? Please cite examples from the film in your discussion. First, I think that it adds to the film noir feel that the movie has. In previous noir films that we watched there was instances of reflection and repetition, and in the case of Vertigo there was also a seemingly supernatural force involved. This transformation may also embody the emotions and psychogenic fugue from the trauma that Fred goes through, as does the mystery man.
In order to fully understand the turmoil of the "hero" in this film, supernatural elements are added to physically represent the phycological. In the case of the Mystery Man, he also adds a type of third party perspective or gaze to the film. We get to see things through his "eyes" by the use of the video camera. During the film, Fred states that he prefers to remember things how he wants and not so much as they actually happened. The Mystery Man gives us a glimpse into the events that happened as well, from either a more subjective view perhaps, or perhaps from the jealous lens of Fred's inner turmoil.
These supernatural elements add another layer of ambiguity to the film. The viewer cannot be sure what is real and what is fake, and the sort of vagueness that the film has makes you feel trapped and on edge for most of the film. This uncertainty adds a lot to the film by creating an unknowing sympathy to the "hero", as we feel the same ambiguity that he does. Again, this is the same ambiguity found in film noir, adding to its place in the genre.
The Alphabet House : A Novel
Nancy: Besides using the character type of the femme fatale, "Lost Highway" deploys many other of the techniques of film noir. Please compare and contrast "Lost Highway" with the classic films noirs we watched and discussed, with reference to these techniques. The aspect of what reality is being shown is one factor that can be seen in both Lost Highway and That Obscure Object of Desire. The reason being, in both films there is a character that perceives to be seeing reality happening in front of their eyes when actually, something is changed.
For example, in Lost Highway, Fred is put on the death row when he has a psychogenic fugue and imagines himself to be a young, slick man named Pete. On the other hand, in the film That Obscure Object of Desire, the femme fatale Conchita is played by two actresses who interchange throughout the film with the male protagonist not taking notice that they are two different women.
I claim that the reason behind Mathieu not being able to notice the difference between the two women was because he was choosing what he wanted to see. Conchita though meant to be one woman, had two actresses playing the role giving her an extraordinary double personality in a way. Mathieu was oblivious of this as for many other events that occurred around him. In this sense, both male protagonists from these films seem to come to a downfall at the end of the film due to their imagination and wishful thinking of what their reality truly is.
Please read the entry below, and answer the questions posed to you in the comments. David Lynch achieved the height of his mainstream success with the T. At its inception, it was a poorly advertised mid-season replacement. However, it rapidly moved to the center of the media spotlight, in large part due to the storm of speculation about its central mystery on online message boards. Its serialized narrative prefigured the renaissance, in the last ten years, of serialized dramatic television in the U.
And, it was one of the first examples of a pop culture phenomenon that gained currency, not through traditional media channels, but over the internet, which was still in its infancy.

However, the popular decline of the series was as rapid as its ascent. By the middle of the second season, ratings had declined precipitously. Fortunately for Lynch, he still had a three film contract with the French production company Studio Canal. However, in they finally funded the filming of Lost Highway. One of Lynch's aims was to create a film with the structure of a moebius strip: a three dimensional loop with only one side.
That is, we begin the film with Fred Madison, who is smoking a cigarette and hears the intercom buzzer for his house. When he pushes the button to listen, he hears the mysterious words "Dick Laurent is dead", and as he rushes over to the window to see who is at his door, he hears the sounds of tires screeching and sirens blaring, only to look out the window and see nothing. One such site featured in her books is the temple site of Abu Simbel in Death on the Nile , as well as the great detail in which she describes life at the dig site in Murder in Mesopotamia.
Of the characters in her books, Christie has often showcased the archaeologist and experts in Middle Eastern cultures and artifacts.
Most notably are the characters of Dr. More indirectly, Christie's famous character of Hercule Poirot can be compared to an archaeologist in his detailed scrutiny of all facts both large and small.
