Hoezo in KINO

“[analogue] Film is so beautiful, but it used to be in the 30’s, less quality and this new, this DV that I was shooting reminded me of that. So it’s just some information is lost and it made me feel like there was more room to dream.” David Lynch’s last feature film was arguably his most intuitive and impenatrable. Inland Empire did not have a finished script beforehand and was an amalgamation of ideas, visions and dreams, shot with a cheap Sony PD150 digital camera, it freed the director from long set-ups and the cost of film stock; ever at the ready to visualize the ideas that came to him for as long as it took to get the scene right. Shot partially in Łódź, Poland and of course in his beloved Los Angeles (completing a trilogy on the city), Inland Empire is so fragmented and opaque that even lead actors Laura Dern and Justin Theroux confessed they have no idea what the film’s about. It really is up to you to figure that out. English and Polish language with English subtitles.
