I'd also add the "Fire Walk With Me" reference in Sad Girl and am I only one who thinks that this road scene from Born To Die: ...is really similar to that famous scene from Lost Highway? That's a great addition, I think some other parallels can be drawn between the MV and the movie: the car crash, the female character's "ghostly" presence wandering around in a robe or night gown, the shadows 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first time I saw that music video, LH came straight to mind. I think there's also a shared overarching theme of the darkness behind both the city and the culture of LA, most prominently in songs like Gods and Monsters, Heroin and Dark But Just A Game. Also the dream/nightmare aspect of an ingenue arriving in LA from Mulholland Drive is strongly matched by the 'Radio'/'Carmen' part of Born To Die. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
