Inland Empire

(2006)

This is the way to the palace…

David Lynch makes his last film, at least as of 2023. Who knows, he might return to the silver screen again but FOR NOW…this is it. His finale. It completes an informal trilogy, Lost Highway and Mulholland Dr. being the other two. All three films are based largely in Los Angeles, all three films dive into dreams, fantasies and nightmares, and all three films deal with an amorphous, hard to see, touch or understand, ever-present darkness. So, how does this one stack up? We dive in!
