Guess this wasn't for me.....

Lynch on frequent collaborator Dean Hurley in the DVD special features: "I really don't like Dean as a person but he's a fantastic sound man."

BRUTAL FUCKING MURDER.

I love much of David Lynch's work and while it's often surreal and weird most of the time you can still make sense of what's going on. I didn't get that from "Inland Empire". It just felt like a three hour long jumbled mess.
I was also put off by how ugly it looks. Definitely an intentional choice but it didn't work for me.

There is probably more to it than I could see but after seeing it now for the first time, I can't say that I liked it.

NOSSA O QUE ROLOU

I have no idea what I just watched...and I have no idea what to say about it...except that it was one big lube-free mind fuck! 

This film managed to perfectly capture the feeling of a never ending nightmare and for the entire 180 minutes I couldn’t look away! 

INLAND EMPIRE was an experience I will never forget!

(P.S: I am convinced that this film has the best soundtrack in cinema history)

HAHAHAHAHAHA WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

A lot of guys change. They don’t change, but they reveal. In time they reveal what they really are.

I’m just going to say that I love this movie and I don’t understand how, comparing this to Lynch’s other films, people would think this one is awful. It’s certainly longer, but with everything going on I think that’s justified.

Laura Dern is spectacular. I also think this might be Lynch’s scariest movie. While his work always strikes a pretty ominous tone, something about this film, how it questions reality and our perception of it, left me really unsettled. You think you know what’s happening for the first third of the film, but once it really gets going, it throws you for a loop. The sound design is also phenomenal. The scene where the lights go out and then start spinning/flickering scared the absolute shit out of me. Only Lynch can elicit a terrifying reaction to something so minimal.

the magic of montage and cinema as a way of thinking, lynch does an incredible job in spreading up threads and creating tensions pushing and pulling them to the thought that holds them together as a movie, what an experience

wtf men

I have never experienced anything like Inland Empire before. Closing out of the movie on my laptop was like waking up from a lucid nightmare. The first hour of the film is pretty comprehensible, containing a fairly straightforward narrative. During this hour, there were times I could really feel the three hour run time. It isn’t until the last two hours that things take a turn and you plummet down the rabbit hole of a nightmare this film really is. I was transfixed for most of the last hour, lost in the terrifying and unsettling atmosphere lynch creates. watching this was BRUTAL FUCKING MURDER. I now get why so many people call this lynch’s most experimental and lynchian film.
