Split Picks is back with two of David Lynch's most diametrically opposed films:Wild At Heart (1990) and Lost Highway (1997). What links these films together is author Barry Gifford, who wrote the source novel for Wild at Heart and co-wrote the Lost Highway screenplay with Lynch.
Cinesthesia's Jim Hickcox steps in to host the show and brings along... his Cinesthesia co-host Jason Michelitch. They’re joined by special guest Rob Christopher, whose film Roy’s World: Barry Gifford’s Chicago (2020) is screening at Portland, Oregon's Hollywood Theatre on Saturday, July 9. Together they parse through Lynchian dream logic, Gifford’s childhood in Chicago, and where Gifford's influence shows throughout later Lynch masterworks like Mulholland Drive (2001).
