A brand new 4K restoration of David Lynch’s 2006 surrealist masterwork starring Laura Dern in one of her finest roles. INLAND EMPIRE (2006) is a complex Hollywood nightmare, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Nikki Grace (Laura Dern) is an actress preparing for her biggest role, a Hollywood movie from an acclaimed director (Jeremy Irons)opposite an amorous leading man (Justin Theroux). When she finds herself falling for her co-star, she realises her life is starting to mimic the fictional film they’re shotting. Adding to her confusion is the revelation that the current film is a remake of a doomed Polish production that was never finished due to an unspeakable tragedy.. Extras: Newly remastered in 4K - supervised by David Lynch, MORE THINGS THAT HAPPENED (1 hr 16 mins) - A collection of deleted scenes from David Lynch's 2006 surrealist horror

Not the Critereon collection release, but maybe the best we'll get in the UK. I'm sure I saw that the US release doesn't contain the 4K print, is that right?

The Criterion is the 4K remaster, just like Lost Highway. The disc itself is not a 4K UHD disc, it is regular Blu-ray. Which looks to be what this Studio Canal release is as well. So this will be the same exact restoration on Blu-ray and should therefore be interchangeable with the Criterion. However, sometimes Studio Canal's encoding is superior to Criterion's, so it may end up being the superior disc after all, if you can even tell for such a digital film.

Ok. That's interesting, I would agree that it's a bit misleading to promote the disc as a 4K transfer. I'm sure i'll look better than anything else on the market, though.

That was certainly a problem with "Lost Highway" which did include an actual 4K disc in the US Criterion edition. The UK Criterion version did not, but still bragged about the blu ray being from a 4K master. Confusing enough to make me buy the lesser version.
