Garbage Day!

Wow. Absolutely fantastic. Using DV has given Lynch a flexibility and a freedom that really allows him to explore the worlds he creates like never before and Dern is simply amazing in such a challenging role (roles?). Most of the common Lynchian themes are present (dichotomous women, menace lurking beneath the mundane surface, amibiguity of authorship) and yet this time it all feels more raw, a work which is untouched by studio interference. Lynch has always been somewhat of an auteur but with INLAND EMPIRE he has succeeded in creating a work that is his and his alone. Lynchian in every way. I'm sure I could add more, but only after a few more viewings of this remarkable film. One more thing though... William H Macy? I mean... what?!
