David Lynch- Inland Empire

My main inspiration from Inland Empire was the narrative of the film. At times it's non existent and through out it is incredibly hard to read, making this a film you have to get really involved in, this in itself is a challenge due to its near 3 hour running time. Critics and fans alike have put forth many theories to suggest what Lynch is trying to suggest and represent within the film these range from the permanence of memory, the future of Eastern Europe to telepathy and the nature of men and animals.
It's this idea of creating a story that the audience must really engage with that really interests me and is one i hope to recreate to some extent within my own project.
