Inland

Tensions, repressed memories and desires threaten to surface when a young man is released from a psychiatric hospital following the mysterious disappearance of his mother. Elegantly shot, intuitively edited, and expertly sound-mixed with a haunting score, Ryder conjures an experience that moves with the logic of a nightmare, building towards an unforgettable, strangely moving conclusion. Making vivid use of location filming in the heart of Gloucestershire, this refreshingly offbeat film draws heavily from the work of David Lynch, Nicolas Roeg and rural horror cinema, but has a mood and feel entirely of its own. Shot on a micro-budget and featuring superb performances, this is exciting filmmaking from a new voice in British cinema.
