Comments on David Lynch's Inland Empire opens in Seattle Jan 19

Saw it last night at Laemmle's Sunset 5 on Sunset - one of only two theaters in Greater L.A. where it is showing, to a half-full house on a Saturday night (sigh) - it is glorious. I don't think I have ever seen an American film that allows its meaning to seep out in such a subtle, yet unmistakeable manner. It is crazy, radical, scary as hell and deeply personal, but I cannot quite bring myself to say what was on the tip of my tongue afterwards, which was that it makes no fucking sense. It does, but you have to do the work. OK, its a LITTLE long. But still, wow.
