Additional InformationWith INLAND EMPIRE, David Lynch--creator of such mind-bending works as ERASERHEAD and LOST HIGHWAY--delivers his most avant-garde, abstract, and impenetrable vision yet. A three-hour fever nightmare of a film, INLAND EMPIRE takes the basic structure of Lynch's 2001 masterpiece, MULHOLLAND DRIVE, and spins it even further out of control. A blonde actress (Laura Dern) is preparing for her biggest role yet, 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 the only the beginning. Soon, a seemingly endless onslaught of indescribably bizarre situations flash across the screen: a sitcom featuring humans in bunny suits, a parallel story set in a wintry Poland, a houseful of dancing hookers, screwdrivers in stomachs and much, much more. By the time the film's electrifying closing-credit sequence arrives, even diehard Lynch fans will be gasping for air. Laura Dern's multi-fractured performance is downright heroic. She gives the film the human grounding that it so desperately needs. Not for the fragile or timid, INLAND EMPIRE is a full-blown assault to the senses.
ReviewsNew York Times - Mr. Lynch's latest cinematic head trip is certainly the biggest mind-blower.....INLAND EMPIRE is his most experimental feature since ERASERHEAD., Rolling Stone - David Lunch drops Laura Dern into his twisted wonderland and creates the head trip of the year....INLAND EMPIRE is arguably his most ambitious mind-bender yet..., Empire - A dazzling and exquisitely original riddle as told by an enigma, featuring a superb, multi-layered performance by Laura Dern., Sight And Sound - It's one of the rare films that teaches you -- obliquely -- how to watch it., Total Film - Lynch's obsessions simultaneously demand and defy interpretation. A captivating, baffling nightmare-puzzle.
