“Convict’s garb is striped pink and white. Though it was at my heart’s bidding that I chose the universe wherein I delight, I at least have the power of finding therein the many meanings I wish to find: there is a close relationship between flowers and convicts. The fragility and delicacy of the former are of the same nature as the brutal insensitivity of the latter - my excitement is the oscillation from one to the other. Should I have to portray a convict - or a criminal - I shall so bedeck him with flowers that, as he disappears beneath them, he will himself become a flower, a gigantic and new one. Toward what is know as evil, I lovingly pursued an adventure which led me to prison. Though they may not always be handsome, men doomed to evil possess the manly virtues. Of their own volition, or owing to an accident which has been chosen for them, they plunge lucidly and without complaining into a reproachable, ignominious element, like that into which love, if it is profound, hurls human beings. Erotic play discloses a nameless world which is revealed by the nocturnal language of lovers. Such language is not written down. It is whispered into the ear at night in a hoarse voice. At dawn it is forgotten.â€

Sounds Like: "To see something so free and without the infantile desire to beg for the audience’s love is amazing. INLAND EMPIRE exists on its own terms, for its own reasons. The movie is really an incredible experience in Rorschach filmmaking. Like an abstract painting, what you see in the movie is more a reflection of who you are than what the film is really about. That’s why films like this can be watched over and over again, year after year. As you mature and change, so do the films. They never completely give up their secrets, mostly because those secrets are really your own." Brian Holcomb for beyondhollywood.com
