Lost Highway (1997)
Definitely not for everyone
"Lost Highway" delivers just what you would expect from Lynch; eerie, almost horror-like, subtle storytelling that we saw in some parts of the Twin Peaks. There's always some paranoia in the air, and nothing is what it seems. The camera-work sometimes reminds me of Kubrick's "Shining", as it flows ghostly forward, almost like spying the main characters. There are many, very dark sequences, but sometimes Lynch throws in some actual comedy-noir, that might seem a little out of place for some.
Also, "Lost Hightway" could be considered as a quite "mature" film, as there's a lot of nudity, violence and other wickedness that's not very suitable for children (that's why it probably received R/18+ ratings almost everywhere). The music is excellent as always, there are some compositions by A. Badalamenti, as well as contributions from such artists as T. Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Marilyn Manson, who also did a cameo in the film.
A lot of talk has been about the plot, and how it makes sense. There indeed is a golden string to be followed, but i think the only person who really knows the final solution (as there probably is no such thing) is Lynch himself.
After all, a film way above your average thriller, and shouldn't be considered as such.
Millennium (1996)
Totally underrated, underground gem
Now that all the three (3) season have been released on DVD, it's time to look into this Chris Carter show always overshadowed by The X-Files.
I always thought Millennium was always more realistic of the two. Sure, sometimes there was some paranormal stuff going on, but not in a way that in x-files. Millennium has more of a horror-thriller-like vibe, where The X-Files focuses on UFOs and extraterrestrial activity.
There IS a sort of a continuous storyline included, so i totally recommend getting at least the two first seasons, and watching as many episodes in a row as possible. Definitely darker, and more violent than the X-Files.
