David Lynch’s INLAND EMPIRE Starring Laura Dern Opens April 22nd in St. Louis at The Plaza Frontenac Cinema

“I figured one day I’d just wake up and and find out what the hell yesterday was all about. I’m not too keen on thinkin’ about tommorow. And today’s slipping by.”

David Lynch’s INLAND EMPIRE (2006) starring Laura Dern opens in St. Louis Friday April 22nd at Landmark’s Plaza Frontenac Theater (1701 South Lindbergh Boulevard # 210 PLAZA, Frontenac, MO 63131). For showtimes, check The Plaza Frontenac Cinema’s website HERE.

After an uncomfortable, borderline disturbing visitation by a cryptic neighbor, the fading movie star, Nikki Grace, is thrilled to hear that she has just landed herself the female lead role in director Kingsley Stewart’s sensational Southern melodrama called “On High in Blue Tomorrows”. However, as she gradually disappears into her complex role, Nikki’s character, Susan Blue, starts to emerge from the labyrinthine pathways of her unconscious, creeping into her delicate consciousness. More and more, as Nikki’s dissociation becomes more aggressive, and her self-transcendent experience sets in motion a sometimes subtle, sometimes profound transformation, parallel worlds interweave, and a mysterious lost girl tuned into the TV sitcom, Rabbits (2002), begins to take shape. Is Stewart’s ambitious project doomed to fail?
