04 December 2006 | A Woman in Trouble
Inland Empire, the new movie by David Lynch has its theatrical premiere in New York and LA in the coming weeks. The 1 minute trailer to the entirely shot on digital video, 3 hour movie is finally online, though it does not work for me on the film’s official site. Try youtube.
According to Lynch, “it’s about a woman in trouble, and it’s a mystery, and that’s about all I want to say about it”. And that’s all I want to know about the film before I see it. I’m hoping for a total mind-bender.
Anyway, as the film is distributed by Lynch himself, I don’t know when the Toronto premiere will be. Hopefully soon.
via papermag:
“One of the first things he (Lynch) did to promote it was cause wild traffic on Sunset Boulevard by sitting out there with a real cow and a sign petitioning an Oscar Nomination for Laura Dern, who indeed gives the performance of her life. Another sign read: “˜WITHOUT CHEESE THERE WOULDN”™T BE AN INLAND EMPIRE.”™ When Variety Magazine asked him why, he replied: “œI ate a lot of cheese during the making of Inland Empire.”

Nancy | 5 December 2006 | 4:08The IFC bulletin board compared it to Eraserhead as though he was returning to that style of filmmaking or something. (They made it seem very Bunuel.) I don’t know, when I read that a director is “returning” to his previous successes, I get antsy… but I’m still looking forward to seeing it and I also enjoy Laura Dern. (Uma Thurman is the poor man’s Laura Dern by the way.)
And as for a wider release, Lynch will be self-distributing it in North America.

Kevin | 5 December 2006 | 10:18nancy, or you could do a math quiz relating to the movie, that would be great! it could be unsolvable.
I have a confession to make: I have never seen Eraserhead.
produzentin | 5 December 2006 | 10:42Please, don’t judge.
I just mentioned Apocalypto in the last post, but you are right, I should devote a full post. The movie had real tapir balls. That deserves a mention!
There’s an article in the paper today that David Lynch will come to Toronto in March to present the movie at the Cinematheque. It’s not 100% yet though!
