A blonde actress is preparing for her biggest role yet, but when she finds herself falling for her co-star, she realizes that her life is beginning to mimic the fictional film that they’re shooting.

One of the greatest films of all time and an experience like no other. Nightmarish, frightening, hilarious, irrational, ridiculous, delirious, exhausting and fucked up beyond recognition - proof that this kind of pure, persona cinema isn't quite dead yet. How someone could not appreciate the joys and terrors of this masterpiece is beyond me.
The other and the other and the other get familiar at some point, almost comforting if you are an experienced audience of David Lynch. The folk tale behind the film driving all the narrative is binding as the Polish characters and conversations in the film. And once again, how awake I tried to be during watching he managed to get me trapped in his flashing lights and hypnotizing frame rates.
A sprawling masterpiece! As annoyingly pretentious as it sound, this really is the David Lynch litmas test
It's really difficult to watch, but there are unforgettable scenes like the polish old lady, or the whores fighting in the street under heavy drugs.
Also: Bordwell on John le Carré, Denby on the great actors of the silent era, profiles of Bardot, Sophia Loren, and more.

On the whole I agree with what is being said before me. The film felt spot-on for me only sporadically - and Eraserhead is my #1 favorite film. Though the film does achieve, in discreet moments… read review
It’s somewhat difficult to really criticize a film that is such a claustrophobic vision. Inland Empire is pure Lynch, and thanks to his creative encouragement from Studio Canal, and his avant-garde… read review
