Lynch's latest: "It's supposed to make perfect sense
David Lynch gets a Golden Lion lifetime award in Venice today, and of his new movie, Inland Empire, writes Reuters, "the master of mystery and the macabre is more impenetrable than ever, prompting a journalist to jokingly ask after his mental health." The movie blurs the boundaries between one story and the next, and between dream and reality, the unsigned report says. "Nearly three hours long, the most obvious plotline centers around the making of a movie and how the lead actress fears the wrath of her husband when she has an affair with her co-star. But where that story begins and others, including one set in Poland, begin, is impossible to tell. Asked if the film was supposed to make sense, Lynch told a news conference following a press screening: "It's supposed to make perfect sense." ... When asked to explain the appearance of three actors wearing rabbits' heads, one of whom stands in the corner doing the ironing, the 60-year-old replied: "No, I can't explain that." ... "I really would like to be able to explain, but the film ends up being the explanation. That's what's so terrible about press conferences. It's all about the film, not about the words." The longtime acolyte of Transcendental Meditation also said, "You should be not afraid of using your intuition and feel, think your way through... Have the experience and trust your inner knowing of what it is." [Illo from Steven Lapcevic, from the cover of the Lynch tribute album, "Brilliance."]
