Re: Inland Empire - a film by David Lynch
Finally got to see this today. While I didn't like it as much as Mulholland Drive and feel it's not nearly as strong of a film it still has quite a few good things going for it.

But ultimately I have the feeling that this film is for those who are fans of Lynch. I can't really see anyone else enjoying it.

I will probably end up seeing it again tomorrow and maybe one more time on Wednesday or Thursday.

During my viewing today, I just let myself surrender to the images and not really get caught up in trying to unravel the mystery and narrative.

After the film my friend and I split a bottle of wine discussing the film for a good hour or so and came away thinking that with editing there are some really great pieces of a film in there, but perhaps that isn't what Lynch was going for this time around.

I need to think some more about this one.
