Inland Empire (Zero Stars) 3 hours of random stuff. David Lynch rehashes his pet theme of blurring line between imagination and reality, but only to result in a completely empty movie.
I have yet to see it (7.4/10 IMDb, 5.8/10 Netflix), but at this point, I've yet to even understand WTF any Lynch movie is really about.
"I'd rather people feel a film before understanding it." - Robert Bresson
Anyway, I think Inland Empire is one of the richest films of last year. The sheer gesture of having a fictional actress playing a fictional character whose psyches splinter and impact their respective realities is fascinating enough, but the sound design and imagery scare me shitless.
JG, if you're interested in discovering Lynch but don't want to dive in head-first, try The Elephant Man (1980) and The Straight Story (1999). They're incredible, but very accessible too.
