Lost Highway, Firewalk With Me and Marilyn Monroe
David Lynch's Lost Highway is like a very purposeful confrontation with that idea. What happens in between Firewalk With Me and Lost Highway is really funny to me though, because it's effectively five years passed between the release of these two films. In that time, David Lynch directs six commercials, including a commercial for Berea Pasta, Adidas and Alka Seltzer. He tries to get this long gestating film, Ronnie Rocket, which he has been talking about for many years off the ground. And at a certain point, he writes in Room to Dream that Marlon Brando came to his home and they spent a day together with he and his partner at the time.
