Lost Highway is shallow and sloppy. Like all Lynch post Twin Peaks. It has a cool vibe and a sort of interesting message about the nature of identity, but it's weak in so many ways. The characterization for example is lame and not cool lame or postmodern lame, just friggin' lame for the most part and there's about half an hour of sheer unwatchable crap. As much as I like early Lynch, I think it would be utter torture to be subjected to the deleted scenes from a post 1993 Lynch movie.
