Summary: An actress's perception of reality becomes increasingly distorted as she finds herself falling for her co-star in a remake of an unfinished Polish production that was supposedly cursed.
What do you say about a film like INLAND EMPIRE? Whilst I didn't immediately grasp what the hell was going on, I nonetheless found the whole experience surreal, enjoyable and utterly gripping. I also never felt that it was "weird for weird's sake", although my initial impression was that it made "Mulholland Drive" seem as accessible as a Disney film in comparison. Very good, somehow.
Not a film you should try to analyze or interpret, but to experience, like a dream. Lasting three hours, INLAND EMPIRE is difficult, consuming and often depressing. But after a week you realize you're still trapped inside it. And you might never want to see it again.
Drags a bit, but that's normal with David Lynch. Excellent, terrifying music with a great soundtrack. The Rabbits inclusion was quite a surprise, and it was interesting to see how integrated they were on the film. Lynch described it as some sort of "patchwork movie, with ideas from previous films", but even then the elements seemed to go very well with each other. Recommended.
Sometimes hard to follow but filled with the usual David Lynch dreamlike, almost surreal imagery. I think it helps a great deal if you are familiar with Lynch's work to fully appreciate the intent of this film. Highly recommended to Lynch fans!
I'm often a fan of David Lynch's twisted filmic and narrative style, but here it's a bit hard for me to swallow. Before anything else, this was shot on DV, so strike one there. Most of the scenes in Lynch's film often thread through each other on mood rather than story, but here the mood seems to be as convoluted as the storyline. Thankfully we have Laura Dern's career best, guiding us well through Lynch's scariest, but messiest, nightmare.
'Inland Empire' feels like watching an unstable film (as it was supposed to be, given the experimental value of the production) with a mind of it's own slip into insanity. Sure, it's bold, and intriguing and chilling and what not, but in the end it's just really very tedious and pointless. 3-hours long? You gotta be fucking kidding me, Lynch.
São três horas labirínticas, oníricas, tal qual um pesadelo saído sem filtragem das profundezas do subconsciente 'lynchiano', cuja ausência de lógica na sequência narrativa pode vir a ganhar alguma forma, em potencial, na cabeça de cada espectador. Um banquete para quem anseia por programas artísticos alternativos desconectados da vertente mainstream.
I felt like I was hallucinating for 3 hours. I like that. I loved the break-neck stylistic turn at about the halfway point, but I'm not afraid to let you know that I didn't follow most of this thing, especially the second half. The symbolism was sadly lost on me on the original viewing, but that's kind of how I like to approach movies (much like books) - the first viewing is for aesthetic, subsequent viewings are for interpretation. And I'll need them. Laura Dern was phenomenal in every aspect.
I watched it twice, and I really don't know what to make of this. (I couldn't decide between "Masterpiece" 100) and "Bad" (70), so I gave it a rating of "Good" (85) instead.) I was very moved by Laura Dern's performance, and found much else in it--particularly the sitcom people with the rabbit heads--to be intriguing in a vaguely menacing way but I really don't have a clue as to what this is all about. And I don't think Lynch does either.
