What's with David Lynch using the same red room curtain from Twin Peaks in his Lost Highway film?
Is it meant to orchestrate that they take place in the same universe or he is simply jst using his art styles in other films of his?
Even the way Fred on the bottom right is walking towards the red down the hall is similar to Dale on the lower right walking down the red curtain hall.
It was symbolism! He was angry!

>Even the way Fred on the bottom right
Damnit I meant Fred on the bottom left and Dale on bottom right
really makes you think
He just thinks it's neat.

I do love the red symbolism throughout the movie. Just look at this image with all that red

Her car and red flowers. Brilliant color contrast
Considering hemurders herit makes sense for red to be in majority of her scenes.
I had a feeling that she was alreadydead when he went to the Jazz club hence when he tries calling her and she doesn't answer then he arrives at home and she is there because he is telling himself she was there to greet him - remembering that he likes to remember things his own way and not how they exactly happened. Him watching the video tapes is his mind failing to forget the reality of what he did.
its part of lynchcrisis
Lynch has said that it was basically a playful nod to them being in the same universe, but it doesn't really matter either way.

All of David Lynch's films are about the satanic nature of american popular culture as defined by the artistic elite on the coasts, that is the reason for the pre-occupation with stage curtains, a motif appearing for the first time in Blue Velvet (when Jeffrey for the first time sleeps with the seductress Dorothy) a theming which continues all up until Inland Empire when it is taken to its logical conclusion wherein media and entertainment has become all-pervasive and invaded reality (mirroring our own hyperconnectedness, see: "Pokemon Go" for prime example of hyperreality)

actually the curtains go back to Eraserhead, also there is a carpet very similar to the one in TP.

Wow never thought I'd read a Pokemon Go reference in an analysis of David Lynch's films. You sir have crossed a new threshold of autism. Grats have an upboat.

Blue Velvet is the first instance of the red stage curtains appearing explicitly in the context of something "wrong" occurring, and simultaneously the first time he contrasts the quaint, small town aesthetic (which I believe he uses with no irony) with the evil outside world, as becomes a rampant motif in Twin Peaks.

Most of lynch films can be explained this way and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it
