Good luck trying to figure this out as you watch it the first time but, if you're like me, you'll love the trip. As usual, Lynch sets a mysterious, dreamlike mood and uses lots of shockingly unexpected images. Everything is a bit off-kilter. In turns you'll be scared, sad, or worried and have no real idea why. He keeps you on the edge of your seat because you never know for sure what shocking surprise will come at any time. You'll be all into a scene in present day L.A. and then be jerked back to a generation earlier in Poland with seemingly no rhyme or reason. Lynch loves Laura Dern's expressive face and you can see why after watching this. Having no clue as to what I had just seen I looked up a number of explanations of the plot by reviewers who had spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. In the end I was convince it really didn't matter. Just enjoy it.Read full review

I bought the DVD set for the supplement disc, which includes the short "Quinoa", not included on the Blu-ray set. There are also interviews and over an hour of outtakes, among other things. The film itself is, in my opinion, the most interesting thing David Lynch has done since "Eraserhead". It's a mind-bending journey into alternate realities that throws conventional narrative in the wastebin and so is definitely not for everyone. It would look better in Blu-ray, but I wanted that short.

I'd been having trouble finding Inland Empire on DVD for the US Region. I was happy to finally find it for a price I could manage. I cannot offer a review of the movie itself, other than to say if you do not like David Lynch already, you probably will not like this. If you like Lynch and are interested in methods of filmmaking, check it out to see what he does with digital video.

I could never give an Average review to a David Lynch film, however since I doubt few others besides Lynch fans could love this film I can only rate it Good. For those who long for his Eraserhead days, this is definitely a large step in that direction with intense, dream-like imagery but with the kind of rich visuals that he couldn't do on an Eraserhead budget. Expect to be disturbed, mystified and thoroughly blown away as only David can.
King David. Dreams layered upon psyche layered upon mysteries layered upon liquid emotions (not substance based, mind you; liquid like the water falling in the open title of his show ‘twin peaks’)
