help Inland Empire FAQ
Why is Inland Empire so hard to summarize?
David Lynch structures Inland Empire as a fractured identity nightmare rather than a conventional thriller. Laura Dern plays Nikki Grace, an actress whose role in a troubled film begins to blur with her own life.
Was Inland Empire shot differently from Lynch's earlier films?
Yes, Lynch shot Inland Empire on digital video rather than 35mm film. The movie was released in 2006 and runs around 3 hours.
Is Inland Empire connected to Mulholland Drive?
It is not a direct sequel to Mulholland Drive, but both films deal with Hollywood, unstable identity, and performance. Inland Empire is more abrasive and fragmented, with Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons, and Justin Theroux in major roles.
What is the cursed production inside Inland Empire?
Nikki is cast in On High in Blue Tomorrows, a remake tied to an unfinished Polish film called 47. That film-within-a-film setup is one of the main ways Lynch folds Hollywood melodrama into horror.
