Woman in Trouble; Audience Perplexed: David Lynch's Inland Empire

Few filmmakers can live up to the title "auteur" . . . David Lynch almost requires the use of it. From daring soundtracks through troubling narratives and controversial story elements, fascinatingly over the top performances and strange journeys into the subconscious, Lynch has left audiences reeling with confusion and excitement for over forty years. On this week's episode Mr. Chavez and I take a look at his last theatrical release 2006s Inland Empire. It's as if everything that has come before has been building towards this strange and captivating three-hour long journey into the mind, fantasy, fears, reality, and imagination of an actress facing the role of her career . . . But is that what it's really about? Who knows. The fun is in the descent into Lynch's rabbit hole. Take a listen as we take a deep dive into the unknown. As always we can be reached at [e-mail]. Our continued love and thanks.
