La Flamme Rouge

When I first read the somewhat peculiar name Balthazar Getty I always remember it from Lynch classic "Lost Highway". I can hardly remember him from any other movie. It seems that that fact is something that has gotten clear for the actor himself which urged him to try to cash in on it once again 24 years later.

This movie is hilariously mirroring Lost Highway from start to finish. On the surface for some it may be an identical copy scene-wise but only when it comes to the parts, when you ad the sum of it's part obviously this movie is less.

It is one thing to be inspired by a movie, it's another to make a scene-by-scene imitation like this is.

The cyclist-angle is somewhat weird and doesn't really work with the story. Laughably bad detail. Anyway I saw this on a flight and couldn't stop smiling when I recognized all the parallells. Non-original that tries to rip lynch off but fails a bit. Still somewhat entertaining and could've been better if they toned it down a bit.

The cast in this film is amazing. Balthazar Getty, Nicole LaLiberte, Todd Lowe, George Griffith, Sebastian Quinn, Nacho Picasso and Clint Howard all in one film. The storyline is great and the lighting effects show a lot of talent behind the camera. Overall, very impressive. I can't wait to see the Maze Brothers next production.

This movie was a great watch. Really intense storyline and the acting was definitely memorable. The direction was superb.

The cinematography was brilliant. I re-watch this film several times to catch up on the nuances that were layered in to each scene. And, each time I found even more brilliant moments that I had seen or discovered from either the first watch or the second.

I'm not sure I want to go into the storyline, due to spoilers, but the script is tight and well constructed.

Editorially, the pacing is keeps the viewer in the moment. And, the sound track matches and is well positioned.

The soundtrack was Sensational. I sat on the edge of my seat waiting in anticipation. This thrill seeking movie had me wanting more! So excited for the sequel!

This movie was up my ally. I am a constant channel changer and like to take a lot in at once. There are several stories within stories in this movie but they give you enough of each and wrap it all up in this great production. Well done and looking forward to future productions.
