iSm - sorry to say that if you didn't dig Mulholland Drive, you probably won't like Inland Empire. The seemingly disjointed and surreal style that Lynch dared only in the last 1/3 of Lost Highway and second half of MD is all of IE. I certainly don't want to give anything away before you all see it, but I just want to warn you: don't look for a plot. There is one (or many) there, but Lynch's experimental narrative style demands (at least for me) two viewings: one passive, just to let it all soak in, and, following lots of pondering and discussion, at least one engaged viewing, just to see how the hell he did it. I think it might be my favorite movie so far this year.
