I completely understand why people may not like it, but why call 'Inland Empire' pretentious? I see nothing pretentious about it, especially considering how David Lynch himself talks about it. All he's ever claimed is that he followed his intuition, filmed a bunch of unrelated clips on DV of ideas he liked, then felt there was some sort of 'story' thing he could shoot to connect those separate ideas. He never pretends it's anything more than it is, and doesn't seem to mind what the hell people make of it themselves. I actually really enjoy the film; it just dribbles on on its own eccentric course, and you can get lost in the atmosphere without worrying why he's doing that or why she's screaming at a clone of herself on the other side of the street. |

some amazing images. the intro is class, as is girl from pumona section. but i hate the dance sequence outro (a nod to 8 1/2 i think) and it relies too much on established lynchian tricks that you've seen before. amazing sound design tho. |

just re watched twin peaks season 1 onto season 2 now, this is still and always will be his best work, still the only thing to give me chills here is one of many scenes with bob, scariest character ever devised |

i don't dare look at that clip. definitelly the scariest character ever put on film. and it happened by chance |

Yeah, wasn't Bob doing the lighting on set or something? Plenty of chilling was done of Fire Walk With Me, as well. I'll never look at ceiling fans the same way again! Here's an interview with Angelo Badalamenti: |

I LOVE lynch. He was my main case study in the last year of A level and yes, some of hes films are very over analysed (especially Eraserhead) you'll probabley never come to his 'true' meaning which is why he loves people to come away with there own interpretations. also, alot of people find a deep feeling of satisfaction after watching Lynch's films having not understood them at all. Remember - Its all about the doughnut, not the hole. |

After Mulholland Drive, this is my favourite Lynch film. Due to its nature, it has a few parts I don't like, but I think the emergent storyline is very gripping and the audio-visual style of the film just blows me away. |

oh my god. it's one of the greatest things I've seen in years. ..definitely the most exciting. it's not a scary movie in the sense that scary movies are, you know? but it is by far the most FRIGHTENING movie I have ever seen. there's no setup for the things that come at you, it doesn't build up tension etc, it just comes screaming at you and punches you in the face out of the blue. so great. |

I really like the way it does the "film within a film within a film" thing so seamlessly, without any distracting plot elements to explain why we're moving between these different worlds. You can theorize about what's going on if you want, or you can just enjoy the ride with all its surprising twists and turns. The best example of that is after the homeless folks' conversations while (spoiler) she's dying and the camera pulls back, revealing another camera filming them and it ending up being all a film set. And then off she goes, and reality melts into fantasy (?) for the rest of the film again, just like that, with no explanation. Or when (spoiler) her world collides with the rabbits, and she rings them up, only to be laughed at by their own audience, whoever they are (and that other strange girl in the hotel room is watching all of this too, I presume...maybe...) But that's what makes it so enjoyable and relaxing to watch, for me. It just goes where it wants with seemingly no regard for conventional logic, and either you enjoy indulging in that for three hours or you don't. |

The only weak spots are the straight ones. The exposition with Nikki and Devon is completely necessary, but it has this knowing smugness to it that's really hard to explain. These feelings for me reach their peak during that "Hollywood TV Show" scene; I'll never like that scene. There's absolutely no chemistry between those two actors, and this may be intentional. I love this movie! Also, if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend Ingmar Bergman's "Persona". It plays like the backbone of "Mulholland Drive", plus it's got them "snap, it's just a movie" tricks that always, and i say always, break our hearts. |
