INLAND EMPIRE

Jack's Comments On The Plot

It's all about the RABBITS. And the GIRL IN THE HOTEL ROOM. She's been cursed by the MAN WITH THE FINGER. The GIRL is trapped. BLUE TOMORROWS is cursed. LAURA DERN is cursed but ESCAPES. LAURA DERN kills the MAN WITH THE FINGER. JULIA is probably cursed. Are the RABBITS cursed? Mulholland Drive made a lot more sense...

Lettie's Review

I bought my copy of INLAND EMPIRE in HMV last week and watched it at the weekend.

It is three hours long and probably the strangest film I have ever seen.

I am still not sure what it is about... I think it is about an actress who experiences some kind of nervous breakdown but I am not sure... I am at a loss what to write about the film.

It has been described as a work of genius by professional film critics... maybe it is. Unfortunately I think that one would need to be a genius to understand what is going on in the film. I am only a mere mortal.

Julia's screen time was only marginally more generous in this film than it was in Iron Jawed Angels and to be honest she is the only reason I sat through the film. As Julia fans we are compelled to watch INLAND EMPIRE but to be honest I found the experience emotionally exhausting.

Julia, please go back to acting in period pieces!
