I saw the movie "Inland Empire" directed by David Lynch and staring Laura Dern. During the movie, I kept wondering whether I was dreaming because the images that I was seeing had no apparent connection to one another. The film had no compact storyline, but if I were to sum it up I would say it was a horror movie that toys with the viewers unconscious mind. Laura Dern's husband in the film warns her that if she cheats on him she will face terrible consequences. I really enjoyed the movie because for the first time in a while, I had no idea what would happen next. Although it was confusing at times, it made up for it with constant suspense and intensity. Inland Empire is interwoven with the making of the movie, and the actual movie itself. David Lynch, nominated for four oscars for previous works, is a great director in my opinion because he breaks all conventions and doesn't feel like he has to create a film that will gain attention. Instead, he is content with making masterpieces that many people will never see. I want to watch another one of his films soon, most likely Mulholland Drive. The End.
