I watched David Lynch's latest film "Inland Empire".
A game of overlaps and digressions seemingly devoid of a narrative "plot".. the compass of the filmic story. Carefully crafted images; moments fixed with mastery without the prerogatives of consequentiality.
A Dadaist exercise in the development of the story. David provides the pieces of the puzzle, but the assembly is personal. A filmmaker who is hardly didactic, stimulating and provoking others' creativity… And the viewer can never be passive: they must extract and weave the threads of an intricate and polysemous plot on their own… A MUST SEE!!!!!

Where, therefore, a film like ‘Mulholland Drive’ inspired a type of projection... ‘Inland Empire’ drags in a totally abstruse operation that doesn’t inspire, but rather demands that the viewer, at all costs, finds something in it.
Lynch remains one of the greatest directors around... But it’s something that suits aesthetes, who probably won’t notice that as the film entirely loses the thread of the plot.

The cinema of David Lynch requires an audience without expectations.
Everything, absolutely everything, in terms of plot, is explained in the dialogues.

With Inland Empire, Lynch removes the subject as a unique entity to make room for the plurality of sensations.
The film states clearly that true and false do not exist and have never existed; only death exists.

"Lynch, undisputed master, has once again managed to tear my heart apart. He did it with kindness, unsettling and destroying me."
"In front of those 172 minutes of pure cinema the viewer cannot react: they are incapable: losing orientation from the first 40 minutes and never finding themselves again, lost in an abstract and irrefutable limbo."

"David Lynch is not what transpires from his films or his paintings. The artist-Lynch and the person-Lynch are two completely separate entities."
"It's so exciting when you fall in love with ideas... And getting lost is wonderful."
