“I want to take this time to talk about three people. Admittedly, one of them isn’t David Lynch. Although, of course, he comes up in his relationship and views of these people. Those three people: David Bowie, Richard Pryor and OJ Simpson.”
Through these three people and the ways in which they each represented different lives I attempt to introduce Lost Highway. This was an introduction that I gave to a screening at The Little Theatre in Bath in September 2025 where the film was shown as part of Picturehouse’s ‘Lynchspirations’ season, where it was shown in a double bill with Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. The audio in the below video was specially recorded based on the rough introduction that I had written before the screening.
Here’s the 1984 interview Richard Pryor gave on Tony Brown’s Journal that I mention in the introduction.
