Inland Empire

Nikki Grace (Laura Dern), a married actress lands a plumb role in a mystery film which has a checkered history. She soon finds herself attracted to her co-star. Devon Berk (Justin Theroux), in spite of her dangerous husband. But it is unclear if the attraction is fact or fiction. As the movie proceeds, the lines between the actors and the film within they are acting in begin to blur. Jeremy Irons is the director of the mystery film and he too seems to be left in the dark. The real force behind both films is of course David Lynch who seems to have imbibed way too many exotic substances when writing and directing this mindless, convoluted and obtuse piece of krap.
