The year is 2044: artificial intelligence controls all facets of a stoic society as humans routinely “erase” their feelings. Hoping to eliminate pain caused by their past-life romances, Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) continually falls in love with different incarnations of Louis (George MacKay). Set first in Belle Époque-era Paris, Louis is a British man who woos her away from a cold husband; then in early 21st-century Los Angeles, he is a disturbed American bent on delivering violent “retribution.” Will the process allow Gabrielle to fully connect with Louis in the present, or are the two doomed to repeat their previous fates? Visually audacious director Bertrand Bonello fashions his most accomplished film to date: a sci-fi epic, inspired by Henry James’ turn- of-the-century novella, The Beast in the Jungle, suffused with mounting dread and a haunting sense of mystery. [146 min; drama, romance, sci-fi, thriller; French with English subtitles]
This screening is supported by the IU Institute for European Studies, a Jean Monnet EU Centre of Excellence.

The reach of David Lynch into the popular and cinematic imagination is impossible to overstate. We honor his work, his legacy, his influence, and his paradoxical creation with a free, multi-film marathon. Come and go as you please, discover a Lynch film you’ve not seen before, or revisit a treasured favorite. No tickets required, just an open mind and blue skies and sunshine all along the way.
*Note: film start times are estimates
10am: The Short Films of David Lynch [65 min; NR] — 2K digital restorations of six short films by Lynch: Six Men Getting Sick (1967), The Alphabet (1968), The Grandmother (1970), The Amputee, Version 1 and Version 2 (1974), and Premonitions Following an Evil Deed (1995).
11:15am: Blue Velvet [1986, 121 min, R] — There’s something going on behind the white picket fences of Lumberton, USA. And after finding a severed human ear in a field, mystery-loving college student Jeffrey (Kyle MacLachlan) is determined to find out what. Teaming up with the daughter of a local police detective (Laura Dern), Jeffrey’s investigation leads him into a strange world of sensuality, violence, and the relationship between a troubled nightclub singer (Isabella Rossellini) and a sociopathic sadomasochist (Dennis Hopper, playing a sadist as only Dennis Hopper could).
1:15pm: The Straight Story [1999, 112 min, G] — Alvin’s (Richard Farnsworth, who was nominated for an Oscar for this performance) eyesight is poor, his cash is low, and he can’t stand the thought of being driven anywhere. When he discovers his estranged brother has suffered a stroke, he makes the journey to see him by the only means of transport available to him: a John Deere lawnmower. Also starring Sissy Spacek.
3:15pm: Eraserhead [1977, 89 min, NR] — Lynch’s 1977 debut is a dream of dark and disturbing things, a lasting cult sensation, and a work of extraordinary craft and beauty. Its mesmerizing black-and-white photography, evocative sound design, and unforgettably enigmatic performance by Jack Nance combine in a visionary nocturnal odyssey.
4:45pm: Mulholland Drive [2001, 147 min, R] — After a car wreck on the winding Mulholland Drive renders a woman (Laura Elena Harring) amnesiac, she and a perky Hollywood-hopeful (Naomi Watts) search for clues and answers across Los Angeles in a twisting venture beyond dreams and reality. Also starring Justin Theroux, Robert Forster, and Michael J. Anderson.
7:15pm: Wild at Heart [1990, 125 min, R] — Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) are two lovers struggling to remain together even when fate seems intent on keeping them apart. But here, fate is Lula’s mother, Marietta (Diane Ladd), a desperate woman who hates Sailor and will do anything to keep him away from her daughter. Sailor and Lula escape on a sex-filled, rocking road trip, aware all the time that they are being hunted by Marietta’s cronies, including Bobby Peru (an unhinged Willem Dafoe).
9:30pm: Lost Highway [1997, 134 min, R] — A mesmerizing meditation on the mysterious nature of identity: anonymous videotapes presage a musician’s (Bill Pullman) conviction for murdering his wife (Patricia Arquette), a gangster’s girlfriend (also played by Arquette) leads a mechanic (Balthazar Getty) astray, and the mysterious man with the white face is somehow connected to it all. Featuring some of Lynch’s most painterly and enigmatic cinematographic compositions.
