some statement may be view a contain spoiler . i saw inland empire at the afi festival and feel it be simply phenomenal . i have no idea what it be about and at the moment it doesn not matter . i actually make an effort not to analyze it and just watch it and enjoy the ride . and a great ride it be . i be afraid what be to happen with the new medium but david lynch really succeed in pull off some beautiful dv . i be impressed . the description of dv he give at the 20th anniversary screening of blue velvet be and a it turn out and accurate represent it look terrible . but it look beautifully terrible . it be just so interesting look and so perfect for the movie that it wasn not distract in anyway . i leave the experience of watch it feel it couldn not have be do any other way . and although i will admit that i will still miss the look of a david lynch movie on film and i do not find anything to be lack at all . the acting . wow . i be almost speechless about laura dern performance especially and but we need to give credit to several people here . one must keep in mind that none of the performer have any clue a to the purpose and meaning of mulholland dr. and yet laura dern and grace zabriskie and justin theroux and harry dean stanton and julia ormond and a few from poland i be not familiar with succeed in give such interesting and dynamic and subtle performance . dern especially be chameleon like . so often do she go from one emotion to another while maintain control of all of the nuance one would expect from reality . mr. lynch ability to extract the perfect performance and never cease to amaze me . that ability show through scene from his work that run so well with actor that be not know to be nor do they prove to be exceptional . there be some of that here but the spotlight be really on actor that know their trade very well . inland empire be unmistakeably lynch but it be far more expressionistic than anything we have see . lose highway be a situation comedy compare to this . at least with that and mulholland dr. you somewhat know where to begin . inland empire doesn not give you that . it be longer and have more angle and doesn not allow you to say ok let start here and work our way out . a a matter of fact and i be not convince there be anything to get . well and that not true . there be something there for sure but i think it may be something that will eventually break down . like the farther you walk down a street to see the store and the thicker the fog get around you . the reason i say that be not purely because of the experience of watch the movie chaos but also because of the process he go through . i have no doubt that everything you see have it place on the same quilt but why be rabbit there . this be something that be it own project . a stand alone endeavor . and yet the same performance be use in inland empire . but then again and we saw new camera angle we hadn not see before . be they film simultaneously with the footage originally present in rabbit because he saw it move out of that world all along or be they film recently to bind it to inland empire . axxon n. allusion be also a surprise . that be also a stand alone ( though unproduced ) series that have be completely write for quite some time . why allude to it in here and especially when people can not refer to the series . who know . we can also question the connection since david lynch say he get a lot of the idea separately and serendipitously and only after it have begin do he understand why his brain be give him these idea . that not to say there be no common thread . he be not a common filmmaker and i certainly do not believe he would just do thing meaninglessly for the sake of be weird though many be quick to believe such a thing after all and attention span and mental growth potential have be leave in the womb by many a film goer . but because of the change in medium i will grant myself the freedom to toy with the idea that it may not be just a puzzle to piece together . that plot be build around subconscious connection . like a miro paint maybe . the common theme and common mood and common chaos of the different thread present may be a much part of the movie purpose a the actual plot element . anyhow and it go to be excellent see it it several time over in theater . all three hour of it . because it will take many viewing and coffee shop discussion to get even a greasy grip on the essence of this piece . and then maybe we can see if it reveal itself to be even more than the exceptional movie it seem to be .
