watched in a theater the other week. so dense. a fragmented psychiatric nightmare with themes that spin with the centrifugal force strong enough to pull your soul out of your body as you stand in the middle of it, inland empire is a very individual experience that you can tell lynch used as a collage to express ideas he’d been trying to hone in on for many years already. shot entirely on digital handicam, giving it the feeling of a dream transmission being broadcast directly into your head, highlighted by the handicam grain and the washed out colors from the ai upscale, the movie is woven together like a disjointed and disturbing web akin to both a wired cyberscape’s and an arachnid’s. lynch’s experimentation with form allows the film’s sequences to shine in tandem with one another through a disjointed structure and nonlinear narrative, with sequences cutting into each other like popup ads. through this structure it conveys a deep-seeded desire to express the convergence of life and technology in a way. accentuated by many themes we’ve encountered before in lynch’s work, such as exploring a strange and malicious side of hollywood akin to mulholland drive or the lost girl motif as in darkened room, it’s really the film’s tagline which succinctly encapsulates everything i gathered from my second watch: “a woman in trouble.” nikki grace, famed actress, is placed in the role of susan blue, and soon their lives and consciousnesses begin to converge as they uncover the paralleled life and death of a lost polish girl, a mysterious one that cursed the prospective screenplay.
circles/repetition symbolic for karmic rebirth. phones and electromagnetic references (axxon/axon) as indicators of human connection. industrial factories and trains as symbols of pregnancy alongside many euphemisms for back-alley abortions. the price of fame and fading into obscurity. lost in the wires of radio, tv, and film, inland empire is a symbolic labyrinth waiting to be uncovered, and a solid contender for the greatest film ever made.
look at me and tell me if you’ve known me before.
