the premise of "lost highway" brings to mind
the recent chinese film, "suzhou river" with the
same actress doling out two characters (virgin/whore
difference.) also, tsukamoto shinya's "soseji" fits
the identical twins in a dr. jackal/mr. hyde square-off.
neither are based on literary precedents, but both
feed off the star persona of the central acting bodies
(& to showcase the acting craft beyond the mere
pulse-quickening of pretty faces.)
