Inland Empire

by Samy Sfoggia

David Lynch used expressionist and surrealist elements to make his latest feature, Inland Empire (2006), a film also characterised by a non-linear narrative supported by stream of consciousness. With the use of this resource, Lynch breaks down the limits of space and time and sets up his film in a disordered, representational logic. In addition, the corporeal aesthetics of some characters also serve to illustrate dream states and elements such as colours and objects that appear recurrently permeate the film in order to also signal the transport to an imaginative action. From this perspective, it is pertinent to analyse this film, given the lack of academic work on the subject. Therefore, this study aims to identify the main points relating to the film's narrative and aesthetics - namely: the absurd, the Doppelg nger; stream of consciousness, surrealist elements and the body represented in Inland Empire.
