Humankind's close evolutionary cousins built large,
circular structures out of stalagmites in a French cave around 176,500 years ago, researchers say.
The flashback,
circular structure of a narrative about a doomed man is an essential feature of film noir (see Sunset Boulevard,
Out Of The Past, Detour, Double Indemnity, etc) and Lost Highway is
structured like a Möbius strip, coiling back on itself in a way that reflects the disturbed consciousness of the protagonist, condemned to replay the tragic events of his life in an endless loop.
