William Speruzzi on David Lynch’s “Inland Empire”
Published by Matthew Jeppsen February 14th, 2007 in Art, Cameras, Formats, News, Production, Reviews As you probably have heard “Inland Empire”, the latest film from polarizing director David Lynch, was sourced on Standard Definition DV using the venerable Sony PD-150. Lynch took four years to make the film, which is now playing in select cities. Filmmaker William Speruzzi of This Savage Art recently screened the flick, and genuinely seemed to enjoy it. He has a few insightful comments…Here’s one of them:
“I salute David Lynch for drawing up his own blueprint for how the next twenty years could potentially play out. He bends and breaks film grammar and language to suit his own needs and if we ever needed deconstruction in film, the time is now. I know there are naysayers that are convinced that this is a step backwards but it is truly a step ahead. Taking control of your vision and putting it out there. Shit, we haven’t seen this much innovation and balls since the 70’s.”

Matthew - Thanks for the mention. I think what’s special about what Lynch is doing (you can search the internet for numerous examples of him talking about the distribution of Inland Empire) is he knows what kind of film he makes and that it will be a tough sell. But instead of spending another four years just trying to get the film into theaters he is taking the DIY approach. This isn’t you or I doing this, this is a director with clout and someone who has been making films for over twenty years. We all have been in the trenches with our DV cameras and Final Cut Pro but he validates the process by putting his money where his mouth is.
