Inland Empire
IMDb: Inland Empire (2006)
Don’t even ask. Just trust me on this one. What’s sad is that I actually thought this Lynch picture might work for me, since it advertised itself as another creepy Hollywood story (Mulholland Drive, anyone?), but with an even eerier aura about it. Perhaps I was still riding high on my amazement that I actually liked Blue Velvet. Silly me! Granted, the first few scenes I saw containing Jeremy Irons were decent, but when isn’t he the best actor on the screen?? Forget -no – ignore Inland Empire. I promise you’ll still be a cool film geek if you skip this one. Seriously. Instead, I nominate the following Lynch rentals in its place: Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. Conclusion: I am so over David Lynch and his “on purpose” weirdness. No wonder Isabella Rosselini wouldn’t marry him.
