Lost Highway is another one of my favourites, and coincidentally, like The Beyond and Haute Tension, also rubs many people up the wrong way.
While it has been suggested that, with this film in particular, Lynch might be having us on, I think he bridges the gap between self-indulgence and subversion here. Yes, it features an inexplicable metamorphisis and strange doubles among other wierdness, but the consistency of mood and atmosphere is so engrossing that we go along for the ride anyway.
Love or hate him, David Lynch is still a pioneering filmmaker of our time.
