Seven Nights of DAVID LYNCH: INLAND EMPIRE (M) Presented in 35mm

Prepare for David Lynch's most ambitious and challenging work - a three-hour descent into the fractured psyche of Hollywood that serves as both his digital filmmaking debut and his most uncompromising artistic statement. This 2006 experimental epic took three years to complete and represents Lynch's final feature film to date, marking the end of an era with a work that pushes narrative cinema to its absolute limits.

Laura Dern delivers a fearless, shape-shifting performance as Nikki Grace, an actress who becomes trapped in a nightmarish web of identity confusion when she learns her latest film is a remake of an unfinished Polish production cursed by murder. As reality dissolves, Nikki's journey becomes a labyrinthine exploration through multiple identities, time periods, and dimensions of consciousness.

Shot entirely on standard-definition digital video, Lynch embraces the medium's grain and darkness to create a uniquely unsettling visual language. The film operates as pure dream logic - or nightmare logic - where cause and effect become meaningless and characters slip between roles like actors changing costumes. Rabbits from Lynch's web series make appearances alongside Polish folklore, Hollywood boulevard prostitutes, and mysterious figures who may or may not exist.

This is Lynch's most uncompromising vision, demanding complete surrender from audiences willing to experience cinema as raw, unfiltered subconscious expression. Not a film to be understood in traditional terms, but rather felt and absorbed like a fever dream that lingers long after waking.

Fair warning: this is challenging viewing even for Lynch devotees - three hours of pure cinematic id that rewards patience and punishes expectations.

Presented in authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
