One of the first posts here was centered around David Lynch’s latest and most impactful movies to date, Inland Empire. I have yet to set my thoughts and interpretations to keyboard (which means I probably won’t) but suffice it to say, Inland Empire inspired plenty. As if the novel process by which it was “written” and the fact that it was shot entirely in low res digital weren’t inspiring enough…

“Film, at least for me, is dead. I never want to go back. Even thinking about it now makes me feel weak and sick.” —David Lynch, AE

I’ve been looking forward to the DVD release of Inland Empire not only because it offered a third of many more viewings to come, but because it suggested that the soundtrack would become available too. More specifically, it meant that I’d finally get my hands on a full-length version of Ghost of Love, one of Lynch’s own additions to the score. Initially heard on the first trailer, it has haunted me ever since.

Toward the exorcism of such ghosts and as a completion to this thread, Ghost of Love can be found below. I’ve also included links to several interviews with Lynch covering topics related to Inland Empire ranging from influences, process, digital cinematography and transcendental meditation.
