The sense of deja vu one encounters when watching David Lynch's blockbuster film, Lost Highway, is not merely the result of a clever thematic device. Beneath the layers of pretension, one finds that Lost Highway, is, at its crux, a heavily obscured remake of the 1986 hit comedy, Big.

Lynch's paean to the Tom Hanks vehicle (helmed by Penny Marshall of Laverne and Shirley fame) is well-documented in David Foster Wallace's exhaustively researched New Yorker piece, "Lost Highway: Big in the City."
