MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Inland Empire, Killer of Sheep Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Inland Empire and Killer of Sheep. Both films will show through April 26.
With Inland Empire, David Lynch - creator of such mind-bending works as Eraserhead and Lost Highway - delivers his most avant-garde, abstract, and impenetrable vision yet. A three-hour fever nightmare of a motion picture, Inland Empire takes the basic structure of Lynch's 2001 masterpiece, Mulholland Drive, and spins it even further out of control. Laura Dern's multi-fractured performance is downright heroic. She gives the film the human grounding that it so desperately needs. Not for the fragile or timid, Inland Empire is a full-blown assault to the senses.
Milestone, Steven Soderbergh and Turner Classic Movies present one of the most famous and acclaimed films by an African-American filmmaker. Killer of Sheep was one of the first 50 films to be selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry and was chosen by the National Society of Film Critics as one of the 100 Essential Films. But, due to music licensing problems, the film has rarely been screened, and then only in ragged 16mm prints. On its thirtieth anniversary, Milestone Films has cleared all the rights and will present UCLA Film & Television Archives dazzling 35mm restoration of this landmark film.
