The Big Picture After a successful breakthrough with Mulholland Drive, director David Lynch appeared to find a way to communicate his avant-garde approach to a mainstream audience. This all came crashing down when everything jumped up a notch with his next and most recent film, Inland Empire. Taking the non-linear stye to new heights , it was beyond anything Lynch had done before. So much so, the cast found themselves unable to articulate the full scope of Lynch's characters in interviews.
Even Lynch's Stars Admitted They Have No Idea What 'Inland Empire' Is About The tagline on the promo poster provided a synopsis: A woman in trouble. Nikki , the woman in said trouble, encounters the wide spectrum of the entertainment business. For the first hour, her story resembles Lynch's previous arcs. Blue Velvet's Jeffrey Beaumont and Mulholland Drive's Betty could probably relate to the unexpected trauma that awaits Nikki before her downfall.
"The truth is I didn't know who I was playing — and I still don't know," said Dern at the film premiere during a press conference. Many actors in Lynch's prior films could probably say the same; however, there was a pattern on this particular set. Justin Theroux, who plays Devon Berk in the film, echoed Dern's statement. He told The Village Voice, “I couldn’t possibly tell you what the film’s about, and at this point, I don’t know that he could.
