Estreou hoje em Portugal
INLAND EMPIRE
É imperdível!
Um cinema do nosso tempo de esbatimento d
e dicotomias e de extrema complexidade. Um cinema totalmente liberto da literatura e largado à aventura da imagem.
Um delírio!

Um dos maiores cineastas contemporâneos,
sem dúvida.

"Inland Empire is a film directed by David Lynch, which was premiered in Italy at the Venice Film Festival on September 6, 2006. The film took two and a half years to complete, and was shot entirely in digital video. The cast includes Lynch regulars such as Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Harry Dean Stanton, Laura Harring, and Grace Zabriskie, as well as Jeremy Irons, Diane Ladd, and special appearances by Nastassja Kinski, William H. Macy and Ben Harper."
...


"When asked about Inland Empire, Lynch responded that it is "about a woman in trouble, and it's a mystery, and that's all I want to say about it."

When presenting screenings of the film, Lynch sometimes offers a clue, in the form of a quote: "We are like the spider. We weave our li
fe and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. This is true for the entire universe."

"According to Richard Peña, an official at the New York Film Festival and one of the first people to see Inland Empire, the film is "a plotless collection of snippets that explore themes Lynch has been wo
rking on for years," including "a Hollywood story about a young actress who gets a part in a film that might be cursed; a story about the smuggling of women from Eastern Europe; and an abstract story about a family of people with rabbit heads sitting around in a living room," which is taken straight from Lynch's web-only film series, Rabbits.


The film supposedly includes several hallucinatory scenes, and Naomi Watts' character in the film is as one of the aforementioned "talking rabbits", in a cameo role. "
...


"In a 2005 interview, Lynch spoke about the filming process of Inland Empire, saying that, "I’ve never worked on a project in this way before. I don’t know exactly how this thing will finally unfold... This film is very different because I don’t have a script. I write the thing scene by scene and much of it is shot and I don’t have much of a clue where it will end. It’s a risk, but I have this feeling that because all things are unified, this idea over here in that room will somehow relate to that idea over there in the pink room."


Much of the film was shot in Lodz, Poland, with local actors, such as Karolina Gruszka, Krzysztof Majchrzak, Leon Niemczyk, Piotr Andrzejewski and artists of the local circus 'Cyrk Zalewski'. Some filming was also done in Los Angeles, and in 2006 Lynch returned from Poland to complete filming. It is unknown how much of the film was actually shot in Inland Empire cities, as Lynch never obtained filming permits required for indoor and outdoor filming in the area.


Every morning, Lynch handed each actor several pages of freshly-written dialogue.

It is the first (feature length) Lynch film to be completely shot in digital video, shot with a Sony DSR-PD150. He has stated that he will no longer use film to make motion pictures.


In an NPR "Weekend Edition" interview, Laura Dern recounted a conversation she had with one of the movie's new producers. He asked if Lynch was joking when he requested a one-legged woman, a monkey and a lumberjack by 3:15. "Yeah, you're on a David Lynch movie, dude," Dern replied. "Sit back and enjoy the ride." Dern reported that by 4 p.m. they were filming with the requested individuals.
Inland Empire also continues Lynch's tradition of naming the project after the location where it is set."
...

"Interviewed at the Venice Film Festival, Laura Dern admitted that she didn't know what INLAND EMPIRE was about or the role she was playing, but hoped that seeing the film's premiere at the festival would help her "learn more." Critics have been divided on the merits of the film, but Laura Dern has received almost-universal acclaim for her performance, with many reviews describing it as her finest to date. Lynch attempted to promote Dern's chances of an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination at the 2007 Academy Awards by campaigning with a live cow. Ultimately, she was not nominated for the award.

Justin Theroux also stated that he "couldn't possibly tell you what the film's about, and at this point I don't know that David Lynch could. It's become sort of a pastime - Laura [Dern] and I sit around on set trying to figure out what's going on."

The New York Times classified INLAND EMPIRE as being "fitfully brilliant" after the film festival.

The Belgian webzine CuttingEdge.be calls the film "damaging for your sense of time and personality".


UK website Mansized declared Inland Empire "a brave movie that plays on in your mind long after you leave the cinema."

When reviewing the film on the BBC series Film 2007, presenter Jonathan Ross described it as "a work of genius... I think." Lynch was also interviewed by Ross about the film in the same show.
