Are you local?

In the past few days, I was afforded the luxury of watching David Lynch's Inland Empire a couple of times. The three hour dream logic narrative left the crowd clamoring for answers after recovering from what can only be described as an exhausting and dizzying experience. Fantastic and well worth the wait. You should see it. It screens nightly at the Vancouver International Film Centre till Wednesday.

For those who have had their fair share of Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo (in 35mm!) is screening at the Cinematheque on Tuesday evening (7:30pm) for one night only. The psychadelic twist on the spaghetti western is a visual feast which was meant to be enjoyed on a big screen. Plus, it's a great excuse to avoid the Japanese bootleg videotapes marred with color bleeding while supporting local film events.

Speaking of supporting local film events, come to the first of many (hopefully) film screenings Jorge and I are putting together for Blim! Yasuzo Masamura's Blind Beast will start the series. It'll be fun and a perfect date movie.
