Lynch Short Film Bows at Cannes

David Lynch dropped a new short film at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, a two-and-a-half-minute offering. There isn’t much context provided with respect to its opening night unfurling, but it’s another characteristically Lynchian mind-trip, melding together a perverted (which is to say distorted) memory, muddled dread and, eventually, violence, along with a giant pair scissors (a nod to Dali, perhaps?) that pierce through a movie screen within the short work, invading the established distance and sanctuary of the piece’s extra frame. Naturally, the film is already up on YouTube; click here to watch.
