The Brattle Extends Run of Inland Empire

If you missed Inland Empire because you were too busy, don't worry. The Brattle has given you a little Christmas gift by adding more shows after the original run, which was supposed to end yesterday.

Now, the Brattle will run the movie in which David Lynch out-Lynches himself at 1:00 pm next Monday through Friday. This exercise in stream-of-consciousness filmmaking, which sounds like Mulholland Drive times 12 plus Laura Dern plus rabbits, may be the perfect antidote to corny holiday specials and the yearly Christmas Story marathon.

Critical reviews have been "Generally Favorable", per Metacritic, but the responses reflect that people either get David Lynch or they don't. One thing's for sure - Laura Dern outdoes herself as an actress who loses herself in several roles.

You can catch the trailer above, and check out Grace Zabriskie, who appears in the beginning. She played Laura Palmer's nutty mom in Twin Peaks, and she's upped the weirdness factor even more to prove she's a true David Lynch All-Star. Her wild eyes express the David Lynch aesthetic, in which the whole world is a twisted fairy tale.
