Resumen de El relat impossible: "Lost highway", de David Lynch
The cinema is one of the primary vehicles of critical reflection. Lynch's work is proof of this. "Lost highway "raises the problem of interpreting reality. Telling what happens or what happens to us consists of narrating the events of the world or narrating oneself to oneself. Thus, today when man becomes aware of the fragility of his interpretations, he becomes confused. The world, language and he himself appear fuzzy, deformed by a subjectivity which cannot be given form. "Lost highway" is the story of a character, Fred Madison, hemmed in by events that he cannot explain because he cannot organize them into a logical order. Lynch describes here an interior chaos with which many of his contemporaries are familiar. It is not strange that such a labyrinthine film should be so successful: it is a mirror of existence. In any case, its discourse, which is deliberately obscure, had to take the form of a story. Even the impossibility of a tale had to be shown by means of a tale.
