If any filmmaker upon their sad passing deserved an interruption into our regular programming to honour their creative legacy, it surely would be David Lynch (1946-2025). For many workers in the film and TV business, whether in exhibition or production, Lynch - the unique creative mind behind TWIN PEAKS, MULHOLLAND DRIVE and BLUE VELVET - was and is the reason they do what they do. Long ago, before our 2019 re-opening, Riverside Studios hosted a 'David Lynch Day' where four of his films screened back to back. To mark his passing, but also pay joyous tribute to his dreams and nightmares, Riverside brings you a new David Lynch Day on 29 March 2025: featuring BLUE VELVET, WILD AT HEART, LOST HIGHWAY and MULHOLLAND DRIVE.

LOST HIGHWAY
Most of Lynch’s later films straddle (at least) two realities, and their most ominous moments arise from a dawning awareness that one world is about to yield to another. In Lost Highway we are introduced to brooding jazz saxophonist Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) while he lives in a simmering state of jealousy with his listless and possibly unfaithful wife Renee (Patricia Arquette). About one hour in, a rupture fundamentally alters the narrative logic of the film and the world itself becomes a nightmare embodiment of a consciousness out of control. Lost Highway marked a return from the wilderness for Lynch, and the arrival of his more radical expressionism—alternating omnipresent darkness with overexposed whiteouts, dead air with the belligerent soundtrack assault of industrial metal bands, and the tactile sensation that everything is really happening with the infinite delusions of schizophrenic thought
