Inland Empire
Filmed scene by scene as he wrote the script, David Lynch’s first feature shot in digital video is regarded as his most experimental film since Eraserhead. This newly remastered version is even more Lynchian, with a vivid new color pass and more impactful sound mix. The mind-altering film follows an actress (Dern) who finds out she’s been cast in a cursed movie. The result is a complex and unpredictable nightmare—featuring humanoid bunnies trapped in a horror sitcom, Polish curses, and more visions from Lynch’s distinctive imagination—that calls into question what you’re viewing and how you’re viewing it.
