Lost Highway Blu-ray Posted April 5, 2019 07:27 PM by



Kino Lorber confirmed today that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of David Lynch's film Lost Highway (1997), starring Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty, Robert Blake, and Henry Rollins. The release will be available for purchase on June 25.



Supplemental featuires to be included on this upcoming release have not yet been finalized.



Synopsis: Haunting sexuality, ricochet action and fleeting, murderous shadows await you on a journey that begins and ends on the Lost Highway. The successful jazz musician whose marriage is on the rocks... The man in black who threatens to expose him... The young mechanic with links to a powerful mobster... The mobster's moll, who knows what she wants and the people who can get it for her. These are the riders on the Lost Highway, trapped in their worlds of desire, destiny, and unknown destination, where the truth is always just a short way further down the road. Featuring a star-studded soundtrack and an incredible cast including Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Patricia Arquette (Medium), Balthazar Getty, Robert Blake and Robert Loggia, Lost Highway is a powerful, sensual and extraordinary movie experience from renowned director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks).

SPRajnert Apr 05, 2019 I thought for sure this would be Criterion (knowing their love for Lynch). Either way, this is great news. Hopefully soon some distributor will release The Elephant Man.

Subtitle Apr 05, 2019 Thank you, thank you Kino Lorber!! Best news I've heard in awhile. awesome news!

montyb Apr 05, 2019 Too bad its not Criterion. They have done great work on David Lynch films in the past. Not sure if Universal will supply Kino with a newer 2K scan (even though the Japanese blu has a new 2K scan but from a different studio).

Kilmer10 Apr 05, 2019 Lost Highway is the "chinese democracy" of blu-rays.....I am still in shock it's finally going to be released.

geminidreamatl30 Apr 05, 2019 I was expecting Criterion to do this. Either way, It's about time they put it on Blu-ray. Now, release The Elephant Man!

Wireduck1 Apr 05, 2019 Hopeful of some new special features, although KL aren't renowned for that.

Gacivory Apr 05, 2019 This is on of my Favorite Lynchs! Definitely gonna get this! I would love for a new release of Elephant Man! maombsit Apr 05, 2019 This is obviously great news, but I thought Criterion was going to issue this. I wonder if that is still possible. Either way, this is a must buy for me.

Kakihara Apr 05, 2019 Never understood Criterion's lack of interest in this masterpiece. I just got the recent German release, which is decent but could use improvement. I will keep an eye on reviews before I double dip. This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all-time. Daytripper Apr 05, 2019 WOW! What great great news. Made my weekend.

Top reviewerTop contributor pro-bassoonist Apr 05, 2019 Criteiron's priorities are all over the place. Instead of releasing various mediocre contemporary and political films, they should have acquired Lost Highway. It is basically guaranteed now that in the U.S. this wonderful film will be stuck with the old MK2 master.



A missed opportunity!

Artridge4 Apr 05, 2019 Oh man--finally! I hope its a good transfer and yeah I wish it was Criterion but I'll take it! Daytripper Apr 05, 2019 Yeah, Criterion have certainly made some odd choices lately. Dropping the ball on titles like this and "Far from Heaven".

Top contributor Dellamorte13 Apr 05, 2019 I'd rather Criterion have it so we could at least get some bonus features but a bare bones Kino disc is OK too, I guess. Better than nothing.

maidenbrain Apr 06, 2019 Dang!

MikeK84 Apr 06, 2019 Aw man... just spent $40 on the Japanese blu ray of this last year...



Oh well, will definitely grab this new release too.



And as with what everyone else has said, it's odd to have Kino put this out.

jw007 Apr 06, 2019 Kino or no kino, I'm glad this movie finally gets a U.S. blu-ray!

PrestonXI Apr 06, 2019 Literally exclaimed out loud in shock when I got the pre-order notification. Then I exclaimed again in anger when I saw it was Kino. At least they are using the original poster art. I will try to be hopeful.

alien2010 Apr 06, 2019 Shame Criterion aren't releasing this. Still I'm hoping either Arrow Video or Criterion release this in the UK.

GaragePoet Apr 06, 2019 doesn't KL average around a 3.5 in PQ?

captainron_howdy Apr 06, 2019 @GaragePoet Yes, & that's still being nice imo.

FragnitoM Apr 06, 2019 Lynch has a history of closely supervising the audio/video of home media releases, so thats the one reason Im kind of okay with this being released at all if not on criterion. Well see when it gets released I guess...

LastGasp Apr 06, 2019 Fingers crossed Criterion gets their hands on this for the UK market. I would assume Studio Canal will re-release though if and when that happens?

film_junkie Apr 06, 2019 Wow. FINALLY! I was *thisclose* to buying the British version.

Imthebat Apr 06, 2019 Has Criterion ever released a title in the UK that wasn't also prepped for US markets? I'm honestly just happy to see it at all.

Havenbull Apr 06, 2019 Dayamnn KL outbid Criterion

Korvac Apr 06, 2019 Finally.

starman15317 Apr 06, 2019 I was hoping that Criterion would release this, but I'm still stoked nonetheless.

JimDiGriz Apr 06, 2019 Hmmm Kino...



Lets hope we get a UK release. Preferably 4K...

FragnitoM Apr 06, 2019 Criterion doesnt release anything in the UK not in the collection in the US as far as I can tell

swansong Apr 06, 2019 Kino Lorber is really giving Criterion a run for the money. Come on Criterion, dont let them have Elephant Man.

ambientcafe Apr 06, 2019 Would be nice to see a domestic release of Lynch's little-seen and underrated gem, 'The Straight Story' as well ...

swansong Apr 06, 2019 The Straight Story is one of Davids finest, but its owned by Disney. I hope they release it and in 4K world be amazing.

OutOfBoose Apr 06, 2019 Old scan?

SnakePlissken29 Apr 07, 2019 Great news 😀

Matt Wilson Apr 07, 2019 Hmm, most of my Kino blus have very average transfers and some don't even have subtitles. So we'll see...

Top contributor

Top contributor YogiYahooeys Apr 07, 2019 Kino isn't a bad option. They're no Criterion, but they *usually* have subtitles and almost always include any special features that have previously been released, sometimes even making new ones.



Imagine if Mill Creek or Olive had somehow ended up with this! There's your worst case scenarios...

swansong Apr 07, 2019 Arrow is the company grabbing titles from Criterion right now. They got The Apartment, 12 Monkeys, Tideland, and The Big Clock. ALL titles should have gone to Criterion.

Top contributor

Top contributor meowingdogs Apr 07, 2019 What's wrong with Arrow? I love them. In fact, I think Arrow suits Lost Highway much more than Criterion does. MakeMineHD Apr 07, 2019 Sold! thrashbat Apr 08, 2019 Kino isn't great but neither is Criterion. Not sure Kino has put their name to PQ as bad as Criterion's Berlin Alexanderplatz recently.

trip66 Apr 08, 2019 I have the Aussie disc by Madman, which is the same as the French MK2 disc, and unlike the UK 1080i disc from Universal, its in proper 1080p and has all the features on it. UK disc has only Lynch's short films and skips the Lost Highway features, and the short films are forgettable. I'm not gonna retire my Aussie disc unless this is a substantial upgrade.

SleazyForWeasley Apr 08, 2019 Yes!!!! David Lynch's last essential work, IMO. So excited. Day one!!!

Top reviewer Sopranogl Apr 08, 2019 "Lost Highway"? What's that? And who's David Lynch?!

PBateman87 Apr 08, 2019 @ Sopranogl: He dabbles in filmmaking, but he is best known as a purveyor of coffee beans that make for a DAMN fine cup of coffee.

FragnitoM Apr 09, 2019 Green Card (Touchstone/Disney) got released on KiNo so maybe Straight Story will toofingers crossed

swansong Apr 09, 2019 By no means did I imply that Arrow was better than Criterion. They are both great companies and I own several titles from both. Im just suggesting that Criterion is not the only show in Town. Good luck to both. Either way we all win.

Network23 Apr 09, 2019 Im guessing with this release with Kino, that Criterion would be prepping Elephant Man sometime this year, yes .. no? txfilmguy Apr 09, 2019 About freakin' time!

mrmichaelrocket Apr 18, 2019 at this point i don't really care at all who releases it..yes arrow and criterion are excellent...im just thrilled lost highway is on blu ray in america..and lets be honest kino lorber is giving smaller named movies a chance to be on blu ray like mad dog and glory and kuffs..so i applaud kino
