Review of Inland Empire

Inland Empire (2006)
10/10
An Inland Empire Primer

1. You will be disorientated and confused the first time and probably the second time you see this film. I don't know if Lynch consciously tries for this effect or if it just happens. Eventually like magic after 2 or 3 viewings the film will suddenly come into focus.

2. This film is a convergance of ideas, meaning, spiritual expositions, and emotions. There's a huge amount going on, but there's plenty of signposts that give hints so just open up and pay attention. I know I miss a lot of the meat of Lost Highway, a film I've watched dozens of times. Yet I get enough that the film is still satisfying to me. It took many viewings to get to the point where I am now with the film.

3. If you don't understand the film and all its themes completely you're not meant to understand it. Just enjoy the mood and beautiful film-making.

4. The bunny people are real
