It has something to do with...

I watched INLAND EMPIRE.

It is by far the most enigmatic David Lynch film ever. There is way too much going on in it to keep your head straight. At one point, the main character even says something to the effect that time is so screwed up and it is a total mind f**k. It really is.

Time and reality are concepts absent from this film. That is the case with Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive as well, but this is 47 times worse (or better, depending on how you look at it). It reminds me a little bit of the structure of a Maya Deren surrealist film with the ease that is slips from one reality to another.

OK, actually, the first hour is pretty much linear, but the next two hours (that's right, it's three hours long) are very much non-linear.

That being said, I like the film. I like the subjective puzzle of it. That's why I like David Lynch films, but this puzzle is damn hard.

Anyway, watch it, dear reader, and we can debate.
