Inland Empire
Inland Empire (2006, R) is a trip down Lynch’s darkest, most nightmarish alley. Laura Dern stars as a Hollywood starlet unraveling in a dizzying whirlpool of identity crises, paranoia, and cinema’s creeping death. Shot on digital video, Lynch’s haunting final theatrical feature before his long hiatus is an unnerving plunge into the unknown—a labyrinthine, miasmic ride into madness that mesmerizes and terrifies in equal measure.
