Inland Empire is now streaming on MUBI in the UK, Ireland, Italy and Turkey.

How does costume shape character? Stylist and costume designer Heidi Bivens was in charge of wardrobe on Inland Empire (2006). It was one of her first jobs, and it was David Lynch’s final film. What did they both learn?

“Ladies of Lynch” explores the subversive female characters created by the late David Lynch, and the singular women who helped shape them. Season 9’s guests include celebrated actor and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini; Lynch’s daughter, Jennifer Lynch; his producer of more than 30 years, Sabrina Sutherland; Twin Peaks (1990–91) cocreator Mark Frost; and the award-winning novelist Deborah Levy.

Written and guest-hosted by culture writer Simran Hans, this season features conversations with actors, writers, producers and craftspeople who worked directly with Lynch, with revealing insights about the enigmatic and much-missed filmmaker, as well as the provocative women he put on screen.
