Inland Empire (2006)

Inland Empire: Directed by David Lynch. With Karolina Gruszka, Krzysztof Majchrzak, Grace Zabriskie, Laura Dern. As an actress begins to adopt the persona of her character in a film, her world becomes nightmarish and surreal.

“First off, this is easily the most confusing and bizarre of all of David Lynchu0026#39;s films, even more so than Lost Highway. I think itu0026#39;s also the most bizarre film I have ever seen. The film is harrowing and creepy and Laura Dern is incredible in her performance. I never thought she was capable it. Fans of Lynch will love it, especially those who think Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway were his best. Average filmgoers will most likely be bored (itu0026#39;s 3 hours long) or think it is Artsy crap. Lost Highway is probably his most comparable film based on structure, technique, and bizarre elements, although it would not be entirely fair to use Lost Highway as a basis for judgment. One of the only things that keeps me from giving it a higher rating is that there are a couple scenes which seemed to drag on a little longer than necessary. Inland Empire at first is reminiscent of some of Lynchu0026#39;s older short films because of the way it is filmed. It is gritty, shaky, and even gives a documentary feel at first. While it is still not his best, itu0026#39;s among them and itu0026#39;s what Lynch fans have come to expect and love.”
