“I don’t know why people expect art to make sense when they accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense” – David Lynch
While he claimed The Straight Story to be his most experimental film, in terms of production Inland Empire may well have that title amongst David Lynch’s work. Featuring much of his love of art, L.A., creativity and the way people think; all through his own unique lens, even down the the iconic awards campaign.
The audio in the video below was recorded shortly after a screening of the film I introduced in December 2025 for The Little Theatre in Bath, where the film was shown as part of a double bill with Fellini’s 8 1/2 – hence the mention of that film and its director in the introduction.
