![]() It’s very easy to understand why the film put so many off. Anecdotal, to be sure, but I suspect my experience matches plenty of others from the time. The opinion of those who did-many of whom were fans of Lynch’s other work-seemed to hue closer to my brother’s than mine, if my memory of the online forums and handful of conversations with the few people I met who’d actually seen it are anything to go by. It had its share of public champions (foremost amongst them Moby, of all people), but it enjoyed none of the cultural cachet that Mulholland Drive had received half a decade prior, mostly because not that many people bought a ticket for it. Granted, Inland Empire earned polarized reviews upon its release, with several prominent critics praising it, even as others derided it as an incomprehensible mess and unbearable slog. Personally, I couldn’t think of a more fitting final film to go out on, although for a long time, I felt like I was alone on that score. Indeed, it seemed increasingly likely that Inland Empire would be his last major work, even as he remained highly prolific in other areas: directing shorts, music videos and commercials acting in other people’s movies and TV shows releasing experimental blues albums opening Parisian nightclubs advocating for Transcendental Meditation slinging coffee and becoming a much-beloved weatherman. What could be better? How could that man ever top it?įor a long time–11 years, to be exact–he didn’t. (Our cousins, who at least had seen Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive, and so knew roughly what to expect, fell somewhere in the middle.) I had just sat through my favorite filmmaker’s magnum opus, three straight hours of pure Lynch id. I wish I could say that when we walked out of the movie three hours later he was a changed person, not unlike me following a screening of Mulholland Drive-my introduction to Lynch-five years earlier, but mostly he was just confused and grouchy. Many utterances of “what the fuck…” could be heard coming from his seat in our otherwise empty theater. Only 18 at the time- a year and a half younger than me-I don’t know that he’d ever even seen a proper art film by that point, let alone a Lynch film. He had no idea what he was in for Christmas Day, 2006, when he asked to tag along with myself and two of our cousins to an early afternoon screening of the new David Lynch film, Inland Empire, at Pasadena’s Laemmle Playhhouse. He strongly believes that Sinon, Maki and Mash are best girls.My poor brother. His favorite games include Persona 3 Portable, Steambot Chronicles and the. He grew up watching shows such as Cardcaptor Sakura, Digimon Adventure, Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo and Yu Yu Hakusho. He has been a fan of anime since his older sister introduced him to the genre when he was younger. Patrick is an avid fan of both video games and anime.
