Back after a week of sell-outs comes the surrealist, experimental epic that David Lynch has been carrying around inside his head for eons, an enigmatic, funny and downright creepy tumble through a cinematic wonderland. "Lynch's first foray into high-definition video is just as visually stunning as his work in 35mm, but the lengthy gestation period of his new film has allowed him to give his own uniquely epic form to many of his primary concerns: The exploitation of young women, the mutability of identity and the omnivorousness of Hollywood. In the lead, Laura Dern gives more of herself than most actors manage in a lifetime."-New York Film Festival.

In David Lynch's own words, INLAND EMPIRE is simply about "a woman in trouble". An actress (Laura Dern) is preparing for her biggest role yet for a director (Jeremy Irons), but when she finds herself falling for her co-star (Justin Theroux), she realizes that her life is beginning to mimic the fictional film that they're shooting. Adding to her confusion is the revelation that the current film is a remake of a doomed Polish production, 47, which was never finished due to an unspeakable tragedy. And that's only the beginning. Soon, a seemingly endless onslaught of indescribably bizarre situations flashes across the screen: a sitcom featuring humans in bunny suits, a parallel story set in a wintry Poland, a houseful of dancing streetwalkers, screwdrivers in stomachs, menacing Polish carnies, and much, much more.

David Lynch is one of the most creative and fascinating contemporary American directors, known for his use of black humour, surrealism, and nightmarish and dreamlike sequences. Over a lengthy career, Lynch has developed a consistent approach to narrative and visual style that has become instantly recognizable to audiences worldwide. Best known as the director of such strangely beautiful pictures as Blue Velvet (1986) and Wild at Heart (1990) - the former received a best director Academy Award nomination; the latter won the Palm d'Or award at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival in 1990. Lynch became a household name when his innovative television series Twin Peaks aired around the world for two seasons in the early nineties. Mulholland Drive (2001), rejected by ABC as a pilot for a new TV show, was completed as a feature film for which Lynch received a Best Director prize at Cannes. Lynch is not only creative as a filmmaker, but is also a painter, photographer and sculptor - his artwork has shown at galleries in New York, Paris and Tokyo. He designs furniture, composes soundscapes, writes song lyrics, and works as an author and producer.
