ERNEST DICKERSON (Director, Demon Knight, The Wire, The Walking Dead)

I love Lost Highway. It’s one of those films I can look at over and over and over and over again because it’s, “What the fuck is going on?” You don’t know, but you go with it because it’s like a dream. It’s like a dream that you can’t look away from.

JENNIFER REEDER (Director, Knives & Skin, V/H/S/94, Perpetrator)

Lost Highway might actually might be my favorite Lynch. There’s something that’s more logical about Mulholland Drive, where Lost Highway just continually folds in on itself in terms of where we are. Whether we’re in the world or the parallel world, or in some kind of other terrible vortex that’s being led by Robert Blake. I think that drives some people crazy, but I find the puzzle pieces that don’t fit really satisfying.
