To understand this film must have basic knowledge of psychoanalysis and also some knowledge of the illness called schizophrenia. The real story, we can draw up the last scene of the movie.
Musician Fred Madison man announces to the intercom that a Dick Laurent is dead. Furthermore, we find that Fred is experiencing marital crisis with his wife Renee, and that somebody on the stairs of their villa leaves a strange videotape. In the last videotape captured the murder of Fred committed at your own wife. Fred is sentenced to death, but the cell suddenly changes into a young mechanic.
Up to this point was quite understandable storyline. But why Fred changed mechanic Pete? The answer is simple. Fred in prison suffered headaches and insomnia. The guards took him to the prison doctor and he gave him sleeping pills! Remember how he feels scattered in the mouth, check whether they are really swallowed and then told him "Now you sleep!"? Then imagine that Fred is still in the cell and it seems to him that it is Pete.
The second part of the movie is a dream of Fred in prison. To understand the story is a crucial one of the last scenes of this dream. Fred it comes to his house and into the intercom say "Dick Laurent is dead. The dream is an illusion based on reality in order to grant the wishes sleeping. Fred at the scene in the early to know who rang him and then told him that "Dick Laurent is dead" and why then at the front door never happened. So now fulfill his dream and also wishes he replies that the sounds he created in his head, then it was just the sound hallucinations as a result of memories of the murder of Dick Laurent!
Schizophrenia manifests itself at the beginning of audio hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and later the toughest stage will be split personality. This means that in a living body, then two individuals who have their own memories. It is therefore likely that the neurosis following the assassination of Laurent, for Fred developed schizophrenia. Why killed Laurent? He was a lover of his wife and killing a rival Fred wanted to resolve the marital crisis. For his victim came to the hotel "Lost Highway", where the lovers secretly met. First Laurent wounded with a knife and then shot him in the desert.
Fred remained with Renee live after the death of Dick. Everything should be fine, but it was not. Fred feels that his wife is still cheating. He called her home when she claimed that he would read, but the phone did not. Vaguely remembers that the club where he plays the saxophone, had gone with a young man (Andy). When sex feels that he does not love his wife. He does not want to admit that his wife begins to hate. Has a visual hallucination, where his wife's face, seeing the face of the mystery man.
Schizophrenia is getting worse. The party at Andy already has audio and visual hallucination combined. His mind created ego second. The entire interview with the mysterious man takes place only in his head!
After arriving home from a party is to split personality. The room goes still like Fred, but when he returns, so it's a mysterious man. Therefore during of examination Fred bad remembers, that his wife killed.
This brings us to those weird videotapes. Recording on tape the memories of a mysterious man and Fred have only the memories replayed in his head during of examination. Let me explain ...
At first viewing, we are able to determine that the second part of the film is the dream of Fred in prison and at the end of a dream that Fred is schizophrenic. Then we have to play the film again on video, either at home or in your head.
When we have information that the first scene unfolds after the death of Laurent and that him killed Fred, at which begins to develop schizophrenia, understanding and other scenes.
In psychoanalysis is the head of the house, so for example the interview of Fred with a mysterious man then takes on a new dimension. Mysterious man talks about Fred's head, but Fred on his house! Mysterious Man: "Actually I was there now." Fred: "Where are you now?" Mystery man: "In your house (the head)." Fred: "This is some bullshit!" Mysterious Man: "Call me (throw me in the head)." Fred: "How did you get into my house (the head)?".
And thanks to the better understanding of the tapes. The first cassette - Mysterious man is before Fred's house (head). The second tape - mystery man inside Fred's house (head) but he can not control. Fred's body is asleep. Third Cartridge - mystery man inside Fred's house (head), but he also mastered. Fred's body of murdering his wife. Fred to the memory of playing in his house (the head) during of examination!
The circle has closed.
