Synopsis
“A WOMAN IN TROUBLE”
Lynch shot Inland Empire on a handheld Sony digital camcorder, a high-end piece of equipment in the early 2000s but one far less powerful than most camera phones today. When the film was released in 2006, its grainy, standard-definition imagery looked unsettling on the big screen, like security footage captured from inside a nightmare. Lynch supervised the entire process, which required using artificial-intelligence software and manually cleaning up a lot of the garbled images that resulted.

Reviews
“It’s worth watching as yet another example of Lynch’s extraordinary collaboration with Dern. It may be overstating things to call her performance heroic, but it’s nothing if not brave, as she dares to embody Lynch’s most brutal impressions of Hollywood.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
