Review of Inland Empire (2006) by Mike S — 11 Aug 2008
-probably the most complex, terrifying, surreal movie I have ever seen. After first viewing it I didn't really understand much of anything, but after the fourth time and a lot of thinking ive come up with what it means to me- although I feel like people could definitely see this movie different ways.
The expierence of seeing this film reminded me of the first times I heard "Bitches Brew" from Miles, and had no clue what to make of it, but got goosebumps for most of it neverthe'less. Some people complained that this movie is just "Mulholland Dr.
on acid", which I would strongly disagree with. Although this movie does take concepts from various of his previous movies, this is a unique story, and a completly new way of story telling, and lynch has always had re-occuring symbols and ideas.
Also, this is one of the most visualy amazing movies I have ever seen, and the things in this movie are among the scariest things I have ever seen in my entire life. What Lynch does in this film visually, I someday would like to create musically.
