Commencing with the fully restored INLAND EMPIRE on August 3 and running through September, Nova presents a fresh retrospective of must-see works across Lynch’s immensely influential filmography.

David Lynch has built a legacy of perplexing audiences with his divergent narrative sensibilities. From the industrial, urban decay of ERASERHEAD, to the anomalous, red-draped waiting room of TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, the bewildering, and often incongruent worlds of Lynchian cinema invite audiences to rely on intuition and leave their rationale at the theatre door. This August-September, welcome uncertainty at Cinema Nova.

INLAND EMPIRE (2006) * Fully Restored
From August 3
The enigmatic masterpiece and, at present, last complete feature film directed by David Lynch.

ERASERHEAD (1977)
From August 24
A certified cult classic and statement of arrival from the budding auteur.

THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980)
From August 31
Nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Actor and Director, THE ELEPHANT MAN is considered one of Lynch’s most accessible films for newcomers.

BLUE VELVET (1986)
From September 7
Considered a proto-Twin Peaks, Lynch’s psychological horror is cemented amongst his finest works. A masterful neo-noir that hallmarks the coming of an auteur.

TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME (1922)
From September 14
Lynch’s hauntingly beautiful prequel to the esteemed television series. Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival.

LOST HIGHWAY (1997)
From September 21
Described by Lynch himself as a “psychogenic fugue” and considered an unappreciated masterpiece by its cult audience.
