Lost in New York

Perdues dans New York

1989 ·55m · ★ 5.5 (22)

A dreamy film in which two women are transported from a beach in France to New York City. Separated and lost, they frantically search for one another.

Why it matters

A surreal urban nightmare that blends dream logic with the disorienting pulse of late-80s New York City.

  • An atmospheric dive into city isolation, capturing the alienation beneath the metropolis’s neon glow.
  • Two female leads whose frantic search becomes a metaphor for connection and survival in an indifferent urban sprawl.
  • Straddles the line between psychological thriller and supernatural mood piece, with a languid pace that rewards patient viewers.
  • For fans of dreamy, offbeat horror that uses setting as a character — think early De Palma crossed with Lynchian unease.
