Added DiffLines:

* Because the film was shot in Standard Definition, for the 2022 restoration done by Janus Films and Lynch himself, all the visuals were upscaled through the GaiaHD algorithm, scaled back down, and then scanned through Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel AI software to give the film a better look. As this led to bad artifacting, every frame with the artifacting had to be completely re-colored to make the film look smoother.

Added DiffLines:

* ShrugOfGod: David Lynch doesn't like to talk about his movies, and when asked about ''Inland Empire'', he replied that "it's about a woman in trouble and it's a mystery and that's all I want to say about it."
* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: The film was written on a scene-by-scene basis, making for a rather surreal "story." The interview segments were apparently filmed first, with the rest of the film revolving loosely around them.
