I've just discovered INLAND EMPIRE is due to be released on blu-ray in the UK on April 19, a mere ten minutes after deciding to buy a blu-ray player. It's an omen! I don't know if this has been posted already (I haven't seen anything). 

You can see it here

It includes the same special features as the UK DVD. 

I have to say I'm disappointed with the availability of Lynch films on Blu-Ray...there are just not enough titles available.

I'm still waiting for the 'studio canal' release of Mulholland Drive (supposedly sometime this year) and I would totally love to have Blue Velvet and of course FWWM & Lost Highway.  I've got Dune (German Import) and The Elephant Man and am very pleased with both of those, I almost went to buy the French import of Wild At Heart (Sailor & Lulu) but I thought I'd hold off for the English release (whenever that is!).

Inland Empire being shot on DV...obviously will raise questions in regard to image quality, although I would expect the sound to be markedly improved over the DVD version...and for me the sound from Blu-Ray is one of the biggest factors.

Bring it on.

And here's a review of said Blu-ray - well sort of!
