Tripod ·

2025/06/12

Alright people here it is; the episode so special Tyrie forgot to upload it. We're talking about Inland Empire. Considered David Lynch's most impenetrable film, it tells the story of a woman in trouble. At least that's what Lynch says it's about. It's filmed entirely on a small mid range camcorder, so while it doesn't exactly look like a silk purse, it generates some transfixing imagery.
