Customer Reviews of David Lynch's Inland Empire (Limited Edition Two-Disc Set)
Lynch Mob... We just saw David's INLAND EMPIRE last night at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica where it was playing for a four-night limited engagement. As much as I look forward to the DVD, I'm so glad to have caught this on the big screen. The visuals are often so dark and moody that it demands a large screen. This movie is not typical Lynch fare. Rather, it is Lynch outdoing Lynch. The story is surreal and experimental. You can try to follow it but a lot of what you see will be left to interpretation. Do not look for a simple connect-the-dots story because it's not there. However, I highly recommend this film because of its abstractionist qualities, the acting, and the cinematography. It is beautifully filmed. Well, perhaps "beautifully" isn't the right adjective; it's hauntingly captivating. Mainstream and even so called "cutting edge" directors would do well to study this film. Lynch can take any scene and make it creepy in a way 99.9% of Hollywood directors simply cannot do. He is magical in this regard. As a graphic artist, INLAND EMPIRE was, to me, a three-hour art lesson. I walked away from this film and felt re-energized, as if I'd just been given a "how-to" instruction manual on the unsettling. Lynch uses both black and white and color throughout this picture and he does so seemlessly. Laura Dern should have gotten an Oscar nod for her performance; it is her finest work to date and you will be blown away by her range. There is not a bad performance in this film. It is, of course, not going to appeal to fans of mainstream studio Hollywood, but would you really want it to? See this movie on the big screen if it comes to your neighborhood; prepare to be creeped out. With Hollywood circling the drain for ideas, we need David Lynch more now than ever before.
Should David Lynch be taken seriously?
That's the question that I first began asking myself years ago, after seeing "Blue Velvet" for the first time. His films befuddle me, aggravate me, mesmerize me, and keep me coming back for more. Originally, one of his films that I found the most infuriatingly obscure, "Mulholland Drive", I have now seen at least twenty times. It's come to be possibly my favorite movie of all time, and I understand the plot almost perfectly (I think!). But of course there's always more to know. He's challenged me to understand concepts in a less linear, literal way, and to trust my instincts. Lynch is all about diving into the endless subconscious: there's no limit to how far you can go. Sometimes, I feel David Lynch is less of a motion picture director, and more of an abstract painter, using film instead of canvas. No one asks why Picasso created lopsided people, or why Van Gogh saw everything in broad hyper-colors. There are the same interesting themes that run through Lynch's works. All of them have a dreamlike, nightmarish quality: beautiful and yet terrifying. They all seem (to me) to prey on our universal fear of mortality, taking us to the brink of death, then grabbing us back to reality...and life. Perhaps David has more in common with the painter Edvard Munch.

>Yet, I was stunned with disillusion when I saw "Inland Empire" on the big screen. As weird and indecipherable as Lynch's works are (I thought nothing could top "Eraserhead" or "Fire Walk With Me" in that department), "Empire" really pushes the envelope into The Twilight Zone. I couldn't follow the vague, impromptu screenplay at all. Some of the choices David made seemed deranged, even for him. Why was "The Phantom" mentioned, then dropped entirely? What happened to the murdered actor and actress from the first version of "On High On Blue Tomorrows"? What was the reason behind Laura Dern's hideous print dresses? Who was the homicidal woman with the screwdriver? Why the subtitles for homeless people, when they could be understood perfectly?

>Have I peaked your interest yet? Despite I.E.'s three-hour running time, I was never bored for one second. And, as always, I could not stop thinking about it. Lynch inspires thought, conversation, and controversy. That's a mark of greatness.

>There were many things I loved, loved, loved in "Empire". The ominous, loopy gypsy neighbor played by Grace Zabriskie was worth my ten bucks alone. Some of the technical shots---Laura Dern running head-on into the camera's view in slow-motion, then suddenly speeding up like a 747; Susan (Laura) shooting an approaching menace, who then turns into her own image as she fires the gun, the grotesquely made-up face disolving like a melting clown. Pure genius. Surprisingly, I totally got the sit-com with the people in rabbit suits, the laugh track, and the woman watching all of this on a TV while she weeps. It connects (in my mind) to Susan's death among the homeless, while we, the real audience, laugh at their innocuous conversation.

>Ultimately, David Lynch would reach a far wider, more appreciative viewer population if he didn't seem to deliberately strive to be so odd. But then, what would there be to talk about???

>So should David Lynch be taken seriously? I think I just answered my own question. Can't WAIT for the DVD, so I can see it again...and again...
Im a Lynch fan and the film was wild
I saw it in NYC in the one theater in the city it was playing in the village. I thought the red curtains was cool before the movie started.

>I couldn't tell if the movie itself digitally didn't transfer to screen well. Or if that the way it really looks. The big screen seemed to be to big for the movie. Quality I thought suffered. Lots of grain. But I loved the movie. I can't comment on it. It's a masterpiece and I really can't wait to finally see the dvd as it was intended.
