aguirreAchtung, the very reverend David Lynch is back and this time he’s cyborg. New film INLAND EMPIRE due out next year with Laura Dern and Harry Dean Stanton – a fine start. Some more details here, though they’re scant as usual. Lynch looks pretty excited about shooting on digital – apparently he’ll never go back to film. Can’t wait to see what he does with it.

Watched Aguirre, Wrath of God on a hungover Sunday. I can absolutely see why Stu loves it so much, it’s an awesome piece of guerilla film-making. Probably the first time I’ve seen Klaus Kinski in action, brutal mesmerising goggle-eyed manga demon that he is. The stark authenticity and poignancy of this film are awesome. Final scene still vivid in my head.
