INLAND EMPIRE

[Johnny Marr]

I'm disappointed to hear that he's switched to working with DV - I didn't
like IE's production values at all.
That said, I'm not a film maker so I wouldn't quite appreciate how painfully
slow it must be to work in the cinematic medium. All the same, compared to
the genuinely beautiful Mulholland Drive, IE seemed scratchy and amateurish.
As for the film itself, watching the last hour felt like the wheels coming
off - Lynch didn't know quite where to take it or how to end it, and was
resorting to spinning out the story with his default motifs of weirdness,
vice and campy 60s pop - The Locomotion felt like such an added on attempt
at a 'vintage' Lynch pastiche.
