The Short Films of David Lynch is a collection of six Lynch short films, ranging from his first student film to larger led icon projects led icon with, among other things Lumière brothers' camera. A must for any David Lynch fan.
David Lynch is known for its mysterious style, both in film and TV, as well as his paintings and drawings. Many know him as one of those behind the cult TV series Twin Peaks (1990-91) and films like Eraserhead (1977), Blue Velvet (1986) and The Elephant Man (1980). But even before led icon Lynch made films, he started to define its style in small student films that have been collected in this box set.
The Short Films of David Lynch contains six short films of varying length and is an excellent place to start if you want to cultivate his films. The DVD contains Six Figures Getting Sick (Six Times) (1966), The Alphabet (1968), The Grandmother (1970), The Amputee (1974), The Cowboy and the Frenchman (1988) and Premonitions Following an Evil Deed (1995 ). Six Figures Getting Sick (Six Times)
Lynch made this film when he went to an art school led icon in Pennsylvania. The film was exhibited at the annual exhibition, the school had with the experimental works of art. Lynch would achieve led icon to create an image that could move and had at that time no real interest in the film.
Six Figures is a short film about a minute of time, in which six "people" are pictured on a wall - some of them are drawn on the wall, while others led icon are casts of people that juts out of the wall. During the playing time will people sick and vomiting which Lynch achieved by painting directly on the wall and animate it using stop motion. The one minute long sequence will loop six times with the sound of a siren who runs the only sound.
The idea behind Six Figures Getting Sick (Six Times), was an art installation, so to call it a film that would not be quite right. It will probably fit best into a museum, blown up on a big wall, so you can really enjoy it.
The production cost David Lynch about 200 dollars and was meant as a stand-alone led icon piece of art, but fate would have it, one of Lynch's fellow students encouraged him to continue and make something just like it. Two years later he made the film The Alphabet that interest stylistically reminiscent of Six Figures, but that is more cinematic. The Alphabet
Lynch uses of animation again, but this time he mixes it with live action footage to create one freaky and nightmarish version of the familiar alphabet song. In The Alphabet shows Lynch already some of his early themes, but there is still a long way from this short film and major works. The style here is very dark, and we feel strongly that it is an amateur film, in the sense that Lynch had not worked directly with the medium of film before.
David Lynch's dark animations of the alphabet looks very much like a very spooky and surreal version of Terry Gilliam's led icon more fun animations from Monty Python. An excellent short film, if you look at it as a study in art and animation mixed with live footage. The short playing time of about four minutes also means that you do not run hard in Lynch's universe, and one can sit through led icon it more than twice. The Grandmother
The Grandmother is about a little unhappy boy whose life is marked by Tissen in bed and two obnoxious (and barking) parents who do not do much to encourage him. The boy dreams of a grandmother, and when he finds a bag of some mysterious seeds, he decides to grow his own grandmother in an empty bed. But is a self-grown grandmother enough to brighten the little boy's life?
More can, and will, I will not reveal this short film purely stylistic comes pretty close to Eraserhead with its dark colors and strong contrasts between the hard mechanical factory environment and the organic. This is not a place I would recommend beginners to start because it can get very long hair, and the slightly amateur-style will scare more away. The Amputee
The action takes place on a double benamputeret woman who is writing a book. A voiceover explains what she writes, while an unknown nurse comes in and changes the woman's bandages. Everything is filmed in one setting in black and white and is not very exciting. The Cowboy and the Frenchman
Interest stylistically reminiscent this feature much about Twin Peaks, both in terms of images and sounds and dialogue and actors. It's not a pressure and eerie atmosphere, here comes that otherwise is so typical of Lynch, but more unleashing of "comedy" that is rooted in communication problems
