We continue to celebrate the life and films of David Lynch with a screening of Lost Highway. Starring Patricia Arquette and Billy Pullman, Lost Highway brings us through the looking glass of a fragmented psyche brought on by the torment of impulse and insecurity, with Lynch’s distinctive talent for portraying the inner workings of the unconscious mind.
