Inland Empire David Lynch Movie

I highly recommend the most recent David Lynch movie Inland Empire.


Crazy filming, distressed plots abound and surprises with every new scene.
The movie really freaked me out on a couple occasions.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0460829/

Genre: Drama / Mystery

Tagline: A Woman In Trouble

Plot summary:Nikki Grace(Dern) and Devon Berk(Theroux) cast in Kingsley Stewart's new motion picture project called ''On High in blue tomorrows'' Nikki's life is messed up when she falls deeply into her role, soon the soon she begins to confuse her current life with the role she's playing(Susan Blue) with co-star Devon (Billy Side in the movie). the project ''On High in blue tomorrows''used to be underway in the past but it has been shattered when it's two lead stars have been murdered accidentally. but it will be even more confusing when Nikki's role (Susan Blue) becomes more real than her real character in reality...

here is an extensive article on the movie featured in Art press which is a french contemporary art magazine:

i love lynch movies; I wanna see this all the more, cause it was shot in poland

I gotta see this.

you know what ... I can't get this movie out of my head!

fyi I saw it (subtitled in french btw) in another city that's about an hour and a half away from me and I'll be there again next friday normally!

fudge it if I have time I'll go see it again

Dying to see this...was supposed to arrive here in january, now it was postponed till April. Can't wait!

illegally acquiring it now

I can't wait until it's done. And I already can't wait until it's out on dvd even though I haven't seen it yet.

I also heard that David Lynch is starting his own coffee shop chain, anyone have any info on that?

I must see this

i went on a d.lynch spree a few months ago (3 movies lololololol)
While i enjoyed the movies as a whole (first time i'd seen Eraserhead, Molholland Drive, Lost Highway), there are points in the movie where, looking back, the ambiguity of the signifance of the scene is like "ummm, ok. waste my time" and then you read about Lynch's other films and you are pondering with other people who saw the movie as to whether "ummmm, maybe it wasn't a waste of time." Molholland Drive especially. It's like an interaction with the audience to keep them guessing until the finish their first view of the film.
then you ponder "what the fuck? what was with the first half of the film?" and you think
and think
and think
and then "oh, it must've been a dream"
it's like a mellow thriller with the plot twist occuring way after the film is over (depending on how fast you can create a logical interpretation in your head)

when i heard the interview with Lynch right after M.Drive was released, refusing to explain wtf the movie was about, i thought he was some kind of paycheck wanker like MNight Shamalyan.
but, he's actually very intriguing in the experiences he brings to film

plus jeden

my only problem with Lynch movies post Dune is that they suck complete shit and try wayyyyy too hard to be unique and different. If I want to spend 2 hours trying to figure out what the fuck is going on I'll go on a blind date, I don't need a shitty David Lynch movie.

For Mulholland drive even the actors didn't get it!

I watched Naomi Watts Inside the Actors studio episode and she talked about working with Lynch and how he basically refused to tell them what the hell was up

I really like Lynch movies but I will say I don't understand them most of the time ...

you need to see the straight story!
So easy to understand even a retard ( no offense to anyone there! ) could get the plot

that statement does much more to define your character than mine, i'm afraid

however, those petty jabs to try and elevate the general perception of your modest intellect make the forums slightly more interesting, so carry on.

Lynch's movies are far from shit.

you're right, my comment earlier was from annoyance more than anything.

I've had too many discussions with pseudo-cinema buffs who heap praise on Lynch but can't tell me what his movies are about, why they liked them or how his movies are edifying in any way.

If one wants to spend the time to try and get answers to those questions from David's movies I'm sure it can be done and a true appreciation for his works would be gained.

I'm just sick of the people who jump on the 'I Love David Lynch' bandwagon simply because they have no clue what to make of what they just saw other than it was really unique and true cinema buffs seemed to like it.

I'll give this next movie of his a viewing and watch it with an open mind, however.

next movie being .. Inland Empire?

Not to sound arrogant but if you couldn't understand his other movies you most certainly won't be getting the meaning of this one any time soon!

i haven't seen very many of his other movies, and while I understood some of what transpired I couldn't (nor could anyone else who is being honest) walk away with absolute clarity as to what I just saw. He intentionally leaves his movies open to interpretation which is what I was referencing with regard to 'understanding' his movies.

and you didn't sound *too* arrogant

Here's a movie by Lynch, that I completely understand http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080678/
