Synopsis

The plot (such as it is) concerns Laura Dern's Nikki, an actress who gets the lead role in a new film production, On High in Blue Tomorrows - a remake of an unmade German adaptation of a Polish folk tale that was rumoured to be cursed. Nikki's world slowly becomes stranger and stranger, as she finds herself absorbing the character she is playing. There's also scenes of anthropomorphic rabbits talking in non-sequiturs, too.

Join us for a screening of David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE, a disturbing and very surreal tale of a woman in trouble...

Join us on Saturday, October 28 at The Backlot Perth for our screening of David Lynch's most gonzo production since his film debut, INLAND EMPIRE!

The plot (such as it is) concerns Laura Dern's Nikki, an actress who gets the lead role in a new film production, On High in Blue Tomorrows - a remake of an unmade German adaptation of a Polish folk tale that was rumoured to be cursed.

Shot on standard definition DV tapes using the Sony DSR-PD150 camcorder from an unfinished script, INLAND EMPIRE is David Lynch at his most artistically liberated.

INLAND EMPIRE is the master at the top of his game.

INLAND EMPIRE is the apotheosis of all of David Lynch's recurring themes and fixations.

But most of all, INLAND EMPIRE will make for one Hell of a cinematic experience and the strangest and most terrifying film you will watch this Halloween season
