It never really matters what a non-Lynch fan would say about "Inland Empire." Lynch creates his own world with all
of its eerie mysticism and profund and horrific realism of life as many of us can only begin to imagine. For that, he
gets kudos even before the movie begins. Who else can create
a movie where at the drop of a hat, things can change and
can challenge your viewership, your perception and your
understanding of reality. This movie is like dropping a huge
stone into a dark, calm sea. You may not hear or see the movement going on below the surface, yet you feel it and are
influenced by its power. It is not a movie, it is art. If you come to a Lynch movie with the same perspective as you come to see a blockbuster, it is probably similar to going to church like you would a sports event. Pure imagination,
creativity, innovation and film pioneering.
