>An old tale, and a variation. A little girl went out to play. Lost in the marketplace, as if half-born. Then, not through the marketplace - you see that, don't you? - but through the alley behind the marketplace. This is the way to the palace. But it isn't something you remember.
This quote explains the entire film.
I still enjoy Mulholland Dr. more.
Howcome when I watch on Youtube I never seen this face? Is this an Alexandria edit?
>Alexandria
more like mammario amirite?
Isn’t the face from a music video? Maybe black hole sun?
hats the only Lynch movie I couldn't watch. The sound is too fricked and I speak Polish.
I love Lynch and my brother loves Lynch and even he says this one is bad. I fell asleep halfway through, which is insane to say of a Lynch film.
Same. It was so tedious. So unengaging. What went wrong with this one?
The same thing that went wrong with Twin Peaks: The Return. Instead of a bunch of scattered clues that seem like bullshit but actually add up to something when you connect the dots (like with Lynch’s older films) Inland Empire and The Return are random bullshit with no meaning (it means whatever you want it to bro!) Which is the laziest form of writing. Mulholland Drive’s DVD literally came with a cheat sheet of clues to help you understand the storyline. It wasn’t pointless scatterbrained bullshit with no meaning and no dots to connect like Inland Empire and The Return. Not to mention the fricking resolution is ridiculous and pretentious.
>”it looks like shit on purpose!!”
>”Who needs film when you have a camcorder!!”
This was when Lynch officially started getting high on the fumes of his own shit.
Cool it daddio
You got so fricking filtered lmao. The Return is pretty fricking basic with what it's saying, it's just presented in a more abstract and surreal way. You sound like you watcu youtube video essays after watching movies
What the hell was that
>AXX . N. N.
>_______________>
About anyway?
Not that guy but
>listening to discourse about a film after watching it is le bad
Why?
>inb4 you didn’t develop your own opinion
Strawman and projection.
The only part of The Return that's anywhere close to incomprehensible is the last episode and even that can be interpreted in satisfying ways.
It's a Polish parable of le spooky woods. Nothing more.
Inland empire fricking sucks.
It was disappointing for me. I watched Mulholland Dr. and loved it. Inland Empire was a long, unpleasant experience. Maybe I'm missing something. I'll watch it again for sure because I enjoy solving Lynch's puzzles, but this was a bit of a let-down.
Whenever Lynch is asked what his movies are actually about, he only says "a woman in trouble"
I like it.
Lynch is a hack and this film is terrible (fan of slow obscure cinema btw)
Eraserhead is a more meaningful contribution to humanity than anything you or any of your friends or family will ever even think of making. You are a moron who critiques well respected media online to impress random faceless posters on a board nobody reads. Nothing you have to say matters whatsoever to anybody other than people who are as obscure and directionless as you. I don’t even like Lynch that much, but anybody who calls him a hack is a moron. Similarly, The Godfather isn’t the best movie ever made by a mile, but anybody who looks at it and sees nothing of note is blind. There’s subjective taste, and then there’s manic contrarianism as a thinly veiled cry for attention.
Nice AI copy pasta you manchild
Lynch fan boys are hilarious. His films show us nothing about the human condition. They are so baby’s first Muh art house experimental crap Reddit tier. Enjoying watching your dude films aren’t a puzzle to be solved lmfao while I learn about life watching cassavetes and ray. Love is all that matters. You get laid once , twice a year max and it shows.
>Enjoying watching your dude films aren’t a puzzle to be solved
You are brown, and your elbows are ashy.
>You get laid once , twice a year max
Anybody who isn’t fat or autistic can get laid every day of the week using tinder. It really isn’t that hard. The fact that you’re treating it as some kind of obstacle is telling though. Brown, ashy, fat, and autistic.
>is that le chat GPT
How many thousands of times are lazy morons with nothing to say going to say this when they don’t know how to engage with an argument? When will the average person liken it to
>triggered liberal?
>u mad bro?
>troonytroonytroony
in terms of vapidness? You’re probably just a moron who got filtered by a normie slow burn film, and your idea of a response apparently is to insist the film has no point and that anybody who thinks it does is actually a bot. Cope.

Every time there's a Lynch thread I'm reminded of how low the median IQ in Cinemaphile actually is
This feels honestly like the step he had to take from Mulholland Drive to get us to the kino that was Twin Peaks The Return.
I love it, the interdimensional bunny soap opera fills me with comfort and fear.
Congrats on actually finishing it, and you've seen it multiple times? Are you a masochist?
I wish I wasn't. I simply don't enjoy this film.
That's because it's 4 hours of borderline self-parody filmed on a camcorder
Imagine trying to get it lmao.
This is AI generated, look at the fingers.
>The future is now that weird "NO U" loop that you get when you would point chatbots at each other back in the day
Frickin gay. Frick this I'm going hiking or something.
You can still get plenty of enjoyment out of a film without really understanding it. At least I can but I get the impression many "normal" people can't.
My brother is a genuinely low IQ individual on account of him getting addicting to sniffing gasoline in his teens and then drinking himself to drink every night as an adult. He was over once while I was watching The Lighthouse. He kept getting pissed off because, according to him, the writing made him feel like he was in school. We turned it off halfway through and watched the 80s Mario movie instead, which he enjoyed a lot more. I don’t think you’ve gotta be a genius to appreciate slow media, but morons and borderline morons like my brother are genuinely incapable of appreciating slow burns, and they conflate it with a film having poor pacing and convoluted writing. These people want predictable plots with purely archetypal characters, flashy lights, stock music. They watch movies for the same reason a baby would watch you jangle keys in their face. More so for innate monkey-brain amusement of noise and spectacle than the wisdom and craft behind it.
I bet even lynch didn't watch this crap twice
If you’re still trying to “get” Lynch, you’re missing the whole point.
I really hate to say it sucked, but it did. Even the Lynch movies I don't understand completely, I enjoy watching. There's a narrative to follow, or at least a thread that encompasses the film. Not with this. To plot, no point, no story. Just images and flecks of dialog.
BRUTAL FRICKING MURDER
But there was nothing to tie the visual elements together. I guess I need to watch it more.
This was the first time I genuinely felt David Lynch was just giving me the finger. I don't appreciate it.
its really obvious that the early parts of the film were planned out at the start and after that he starts pulling material out of his ass.
it's his only movie that didn't have a script. people will criticize him with "muh random" but all that other shit was written before he shot it. This one was him just winging it, and he blew it. Watch the feature length behind the scenes doc, Lynch knew he was making some bullshit and was pissed. and I say this as someone who loves every other fricking thing he's done. TP as a whole is probably mankind's greatest artistic achievement.
My review as of now (after three viewings). It's not kino. Especially at three hours in length.
Why do you want to "get it"?
i love lynch and his style and i kind of like IE but only because i am a hardcore lynch fan and i watched it 3 times before forming my own opinion... BUT there is a reason it's been 17 years and he can't get anything bankrolled, and IE is why
imagine lynch directing a silent hill movie like he did inland empire
Imagine the world where David Lynch didn't see a naked woman roaming the streets that one time.
Wait is that true? I lived in downtown Seattle for a couple years, and I must have seen naked homeless people tweaking out in a state of psychosis every other week.
It's what inspired Blue Velvet. His Art Life documentary is fascinating
Him smoking cigarettes and painting? So interesting
Him talking about his life and what led to his perspective on creating art and finding peace. His dad telling him to never procreate after finding his roadkill abominations can lead to some interesting results
Try watching shit before pretending to know what you're talking about. It just isn't cool.
If you are a Lynch fan and you try to "get" his movies, you are going at it from a wrong angle especially for inland empire
That scene where she walks at the camera still makes me extremely uncomfortable
Jaded? JADED. Kites?
Let's not pretend anymore lik
There's something very unnerving about the digital film in IE, and it was a very daring move to make your art film look alternately like: a skate video, a porno or reality TV in the early 2000s. But the story doesn't really hold up.
