Inland Empire

Under discussion:

Inland Empire  (2006)

Further into the labyrinth we go with David..if the twists of "Mulholland Drive" lost you,(did you see what i did ?) then i dont expect you will get here... It's over-long and sprawling on first viewing ,but the apparently barren sections are punctuated by such genuinely shocking imagery,that you will go back for more,but with a deal of trepidation.. A crazily quick run through from me..The fracturing of the "narrative" begins almost straight away..the first section echoes "Mulholland Drive"and then "Lost Highway" ,as reality  and artifice is undermined and characters appear to transform..a thread that is introduced in the first few scenes dominates the middle section..the final section brings the climaxes of shocks and mind games, further twisting into the labyrinth..the end-title sequence with all Lynch's assembled "lovelies" ,like waking from a nightmare,provides a welcome sigh of relief.
