i just saw the ny premier of inland empire and and it be so refreshing to once again be transport in a way only david lynch can transport somebody . inland empire be lynch at his best funny and thoughtful and eerie and beautiful and dark and deeply disturbing and and terrify in a way that few horror film have ever affect me . the film be a slow burn and take it time ( about 3 hour ) and leap through reality and bizarre encounter and continually keep the audience ask themselves what reality they be experience and and what that reality mean . laura dern give an outstanding performance a the tagline girl in trouble . she go to place i do not ever remember see her go and from the naive to the terrifying and truly exposed . i have hear lynch be campaign for an oscar nod for ms. dern and so maybe this be the one . she really blow me away . this film like all of lynch endeavor be certainly not for everyone . it vague and bizarre and jump all over the place and and at time be deeply frightening ( one of the few film in a long time to actually give me nightmare ) and but in my opinion it also truly beautiful and almost serene . if you like a linear and clear cut story and then do not see this film . if you appreciate non linear and surreal drama or horror and however and then by all mean go see it . lynch be independently produce this and so i know he bank on a lot of word of mouth for inland empire to be successful . help him out . it a fantastic film .
