let me start by say i have admire every single lynch film to date and and i have see all his feature filmsnot only all the original work and but also the non auteur stuff ( like elephant man and straight story and and dune ) as well . moreover and mulholland drive be on my short list for best movie of all timea hand down perfect piece of art . and i really like lose highway and even find eraserhead engaging . however and i must say the first 90 minute of inland empire rank a some of the most boring and pretentious film making in the short history of the art . i can not speak for the rest of the movie a 90 minute of unrelieved murky shot of laura dern look distressed and while the dialogue obscure sound track of a b movie organ drone desperately try to create some kind of suspense be all i could stand . lynch image have always be arrest and sometimes even pretty . but he seem to want to play against that here and create choppy and grainy and bad home video style visuals that just beat down the viewer try to let them flow . hey . art should require it audience to work for it pleasure and meaning while but the effort require here be just too much for me . i think film should tell a story with pictureshopefully a complex story with emotionally and intellectually engaging picture . but this film be just ugly chaos .
