Lost Highway: The Fist of Love

In 1997 David Lynch released Lost Highway starring Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty and Natasha Gregson Wagner. The film came and went and critics famously panned the film. While it did span a top 10 soundtrack, the film has largely been forgotten until now. In 2022, the film was remastered and rereleased. Film lovers, Lynch fans, and critics started to take notice.

Now author Scott Ryan, Fire Walk With Me: Your Laura Disappeared, The Last Days of Letterman, Moonlighting: An Oral History, and the managing editor for The Blue Rose magazine, has turned his interviewing sites on the cast and crew of Lost Highway to write maybe the first book ever to focus on this forgotten Lynch film.

The book has interviews with Academy Award winner Patricia Arquette (Renee/Alice), Balthazar Getty (Pete), Natasha Gregson Wagner (Sheila), Producer Deepak Nayar, Production Assistant Sabrina S. Sutherland, DP Peter Deming, Camera man Scott Ressler, and makeup artist Debbie Zoller. The book also covers the film, the script and the famous soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti and Trent Reznor.

Fans of David Lynch and Lost Highway will enjoy this deep dive into this amazing film. The book begins with a foreword by Matt Zoller Seitz (The Deadwood Bible) and ends with a tribute to Lynch good luck charm Jack Nance, who died shortly after filming Lost Highway.
