Well, technically, she was already dead when the film started.
The moments we do see Renee, at the beginning of the movie, that is when Fred is still in denial of actually having killed her. He still believes everything is ok.
The moment he finally realizes what he has done, is when he received the last videotape. It’s a short black and white scene where Renee has been brutally murdered in bed and Fred has blood on his hands.

Great article and write up. Thanks for explaining this. Overall the dialogue and tension make this movie totally gripping. The odd characters and strange build up were phenomenal. But to be honest, I find this kind of film making frustrating and ridiculous. It’s as if there is an attempt to be confusing just to depict something in a weird way, leading you down the road to strange paradoxes that one cannot understand except by reading some explanation to the movie like this one. It’s one thing to take some liberties for imagery. It’s another to make an incomprehensible film that requires a detailed guide to explain it all. Personally I think this is a more gripping film than Mulholland Drive but suffers from being even more incomprehensible. This is my favorite least favorite film, if that makes any sense and every once in a while I enjoy watching it, at least for the performances in the way of Pulp Fiction.

I don’t know if you can go as far back as Blue Velvet in order to try to explain Lost Highway. Blue Velvet is still a fairly straight forward story with some really strange characters in it. It’s more likely that Lynch started developing the world we see in Lost Highway in Twin Peaks where things aren’t always what they appear to be and starts to introduce dream sequences. But the real key for me in understanding Lost Highway was his later film: Mulholland Drive. Mulholland Drive is in many ways a copy of Lost Highway, but despite its loose ends (it was actually ment as a pilot) is much more concise and clearer in presenting Lynches strange and dark universe. In Mulholland Drive, the first two thirds of the movie play in an idealized version of the world the main character is living in. It’s only in the last part when this idealized world breaks down that the main character sees herself for what she truly is. Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive are films of clouded self perception.

Comment on Why I Drew Cartoons to Subvert the System by Jason Parker

Patrek, its like myself. I presumed to like art when young and at school, then came to the realisation that my creativity was better expressed through words and concepts. Though looking back, I wasn’t half as competent with the brush. I guess you’re not interested in drawing comics anymore?
And wouldn’t it be great to have a sculpture of your character cast and on the promenade of Knokke? Couldn’t have that in the UK… Would be pinched for scrap within a week!

(and on an aside, when i was at school, lived in the countryside, and my dad used to give me lifts in, nut being hard working and self employed mechanic, was usually working early, before dropping me off. So after several weeks of being slightly late, i got a detention. Well, we had to jot down the reasons why we were there. Everybody wrote simple sentences. I wrote a page ranting about the injustice of the se ‘pissant teachers’. Suffice to say, next day i was called before deputy headmaster and suspended! And when i came back after the weekend with my ‘apology”, well lets say the dripping sarcasm in it did not go unnoticed! Another day off. And during my day off, had to go and help out on local farm, slinging potatoes. Until you’ve tried actually doing it, you can’t appreciate the pain involved in these so called menial labours. Respect to the farm workers. My hamstrings were killing me for days!)

My question is what was on that envelope that Cobb read with confidential on it. He looked shocked. If you pause it, it says something about software programming , and something about deception…

I’d say he was still in the dream, if only for the poor excuse used in the beginning when they’re on the train, about the dream machine and how it connected everybody. Utter crap, which suggests itself a thread of dream logic at work. In the dream, you don’t need hard scientific reasons for why stuff works. It just does!
