I have to be honest and stay true to myself this time: I didn't like it.
I don't think it is any good and I just didn't enjoy it at all. I love Eraserhead and, obviously, The Elephant Man (Lynch's most mainstream film) but I don't get Lynch's ...( read more)
OK, first things first this movie is literally like seeing your worst, darkest most pessimistic nightmare on screen. The story is as macabre as it is extremely confusing. If you thought the likes of Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard exploited the true cruelty of Hollywood, yo...( read more)
OK, so two days ago a lady comes to my door explaining that she's my new neighbor, having just moved in down the way. I invite her in and over a cup of coffee she tells me that she heard I was going to write a review for Inland Empire. "Oh no, you're mistaken" I said, "I...( read more)
Inland Empire is about a woman in trouble. That's how David Lynch described it at first and that's how I will describe it, because... really... is there another way to do it? Is it worth it to try and recount the argument?! Nooo
Because if you're going to watch Inland Empire y...( read more)
There are no words to describe this film. It is very hard to follow it makes almost no sense and it leaves the viewer with more questions than answers BUT then again that it what a David Lynch film is all about! I have to say that this movie drove me crazy and had me visiting mes...( read more)
this has to be his greatest master piece clever whitty and over all extreamly dark and intreugeing
I get what he was trying to do, I (suprisingly enough) perfectly understood the story.....but I just didn't enjoy myself at all. It dragged on much longer than it should've, and even though some of the dreamlike confusing imagery was really well done, it didn't really impress me....( read more)
Astoundingly weird, even by David Lynch's standards. Plotless and indecipherable, only the hardcore fans might enjoy this. I am a fan, but still only had occasional moments of enjoyment: I liked some of the weirdness, the Lynchian images, and some parts of Dern's performance.
Inland Empire is primarily a neurotic/psychotic/philosophic carousel.Let's chop off the first half hour,correct?Not really,the finale is an absurd dance hall commencing us to sway with the ladies.So..why the rabbits?Hell's broken loose and those fellows want to remind to that poo...( read more)
Lynch's brilliant and bizarre films have often come to us as a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, but his latest is enshrouded with two layers of 'who cares?' full review
Inland Empire is essentially a journey inside David Lynch's mind, sometimes burrowing very deep indeed. Nobody else could have made this film; nobody else should try. full review
The way to watch it is to skip uneasily along its surface and steel yourself for those moments when Lynch pulls you into the vortex. More than any working filmmaker, he knows the dreamlike power of un... full review
Lynch serves up enough irrationally disturbing images for 100 classic Asian horror films, and the bedraggled Dern is so overflowingly open that you can't dismiss the movie as an arty exercise. full review
My advice, in the face of such hallucinatory brilliance, is that you hang on. full review
Lynch's epic about the movie biz and identity seems less a depiction of the dark recesses of the human mind than an actual product of it. full review
If this is the worst movie you've ever seen in your life, then you haven't seen too many movies, have you?
I am in Australia and can't find the release date for Inland Empire. Can anyone help me? I am so keen to see this film, big fan of Lynch.
Cheers
