Inland Empire (film)
Inland Empire is a 2006 mystery film written and directed by David Lynch. It was his first feature film since 2001's Mulholland Dr. It premiered in Italy at the Venice Film Festival on 6 September 2006. The feature took two-and-a-half years to complete, and was Lynch's first film to have been shot entirely in standard definition digital video. The film is a co-production of France, Poland and the United States.
The cast includes such Lynch regulars as Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Harry Dean Stanton and Grace Zabriskie, as well as Jeremy Irons and Diane Ladd. There are also very brief appearances by Nastassja Kinski, William H. Macy, Laura Harring, Terry Crews, Mary Steenburgen and Ben Harper. The voices of Harring, Naomi Watts and Scott Coffey are included in excerpts from Lynch's Rabbits website project.
Inland Empire was named the second-best film of 2007 (tied with two others) by Cahiers du cinéma, and listed among Sight & Sound's "thirty best films of the 2000s", as well as The Guardian's "10 most underrated movies of the decade".

Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland a Stourton Tower,
