VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
framptonhollis This surreal, short piece of avant garde video art is among David Lynch's lesser works, but that doesn't mean that fans of his cannot get anything out of it. I found it to be highly fascinating in nature, especially due to its cryptic and enigmatic style, one that is certainly Lynchian in every conceivable way. One may consider the early, bizarre scenes featuring an Asian woman discussing bananas to be entirely unrelated to the later, horror-movie type scenes featuring a young woman that seems to be...captured (her situation is never exactly revealed, which makes it all the more haunting) to be entirely disconnected, but the link between these two pars is among the weirdest and most interesting features of this ten minute mystery. Perhaps none of it means anything, but even if it didn't it's still a genuinely scary and surrealist experiment that combines absurdist humor with inexplicable Lynchian madness.
coltulu You really have to watch Lynch movies more then once(maybe twice). Also you have to think and search a little bit to understand his movies.I think this film is about a girl, who is dead, and now she is in purgatory to learn what was happened to her. She doesn't know what is going on and she is stuck in nowhere.I think, she and her boyfriends, we see at the door, had a car accident or something, and both are dead. She doesn't remember and looking for her boyfriend. But an angel(second girl) comes and make her remember that she is dead. At the end she remembers and cries.About who she died: She didn't have any accident. Something happened to boy or her. And the puppet refers to to boy.It is really freaky film if you think that way.
Scars_Remain I'm not gonna lie, I am obsessed with David Lynch. My favorite movie of all time is his 1977 film, Eraserhead and close behind that is Elephantman, and Mulholland Drive. I also loved Lost Highway, Twin Peaks, and Blue Velvet. I however haven't been as pleased with his stuff after Mulholland Drive. I thought Inland Empire was a mess and a huge disappointment. This would bring me to Darkened Room. A film that ties into Inland Empire quite a bit but has the same pointless feel as that film. I guess I just have no idea what's going on so I didn't a point in filming it. I did like how it was shot though. It had a very low budget, independent feel and that is very inspiring to me as a young filmmaker. I'm making it a goal to see all of David Lynch's films but this one was a disappointment.
Dale65 Actually spelled "Darkend Room" this is an intriguing but quickly forgettable Lynch piece. Lynch does the camera work himself, and the digital video look has a kind of odd appeal. This is hidden on DavidLynch.com and true Lynch fans should seek it out. I'm a huge fan, but I've been uninspired by this and most of the original work on Lynch's site. I'm hoping there will be more rewarding surprises than this in the near future. These two young women are extremely attractive, though.
