WWAW David Lynchs Inland Empire?

It was the first David Lynch movie I saw aside from Eraserhead and it's the reason I think I'm too stupid to get David Lynch films. It's also shot on a fucking cell phone or some shit so it looks weird.

Never watched it cause of the same reasons you mentioned. Maybe i should embrace the strangeness and give it a chance.

If you don't like weird stuff you should watch The Straight Story. His only G rated movie and it will make you cry like a faggot if you have any ounce of a heart.

I think that and Lost Highway are just overshadowed by how good Mulholland Drive was. Lost Highway is better than Inland though.

It's a pretty good entry to him along with Twin Peaks and Elephant Man.

That scene is fantastic. Watched it again a couple weeks ago and it still is creepy as fuck.

It's what Norton would call "a tough one, man." I found it much better on repeated viewings, to the point where I think it almost requires being seen at least twice. The stories are dense, and there are scenes that needed editing. I definitely think it needs to be roughly 30 min shorter. Being shot on a shittty camera is off-putting. Laura Dern is goddamn amazing in it. It's definitely in my bottom half of Lynch movies, but I'd still take it over 99% of anything else.

Did someone really upload it to YouTube? I can only find a 1 and a half hour version.
This is the only scene I've seen from it:

Reminds me of a fever dream. Not sure I could sit through 3 hours of that.

It's one of those that are supposed to be experienced rather than understood. His decision to do his own cinematography and editing really hurts it for me. His frequent collaborators are a big part of why his ideas translate to the screen and this feels more like someone videoed the actors rehearsing rather than a finished product. I'd recommend it if you're a big Lynch guy and there's certainly some value to it but it's definitely more a completionist type of thing.

Definitely. Mary Sweeney was assistant editor on Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart, then main editor on Fire Walk With Me, Lost Highway, Straight Story and Mulholland Drive. She deserves a ton of credit for what she's done. A good editor is just as crucial as writing, directing and acting.

The only thing i know about this movie is that Lynch was campaigning for Laura Dern to be nominated for a oscar for it.

From what I read he always treats his actors and actresses well. Just another reason to love the man.
