The Short Films of David Lynch 1967-1974

Movies #1,029-1,036 • SHORT FILM MONDAYS

Most, but not all, of these EIGHT shorts are compiled on the 2002 video release. I plan on watching all of the Lynch short films I can find, probably in three chronological installments.

SIX MEN GETTING SICK (SIX TIMES) (1967)

A living painting soundtracked by sirens and other bleeps and bloops. Blasts of color, flashes. Gotta fill them hole sacks, boys! A sudden burst of purple accompanying the vomit. Repeats guess how many times? The repetition seems key, makes it work, as you can pick up on different things each time, like the word "SICK" flashing (didn't catch that until pass #5). Quite the beginning!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ABSURD ENCOUNTER WITH FEAR (1967)

Huge menacing movie classical piece (I believe this is György Ligeti? It repeats in other early work, primarily “Early Experiments”) soundtracks man (early collaborator Jack Fisk in Blue Man Group mode) walking through tall grass in an open field by a forest, encounters whiteface Peggy Lynch (David’s first wife, who will be a constant in these shorts as well). She’s crouching, looks scared and undoes his fly and pulls out some dandelions? This is the earliest commentary on #MeToo, perhaps. He gets 'caught' by the camera and faints. Lovely destruction of the film stock here as well.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FICTITIOUS ANACIN COMMERCIAL (1967)

Jack Fisk, looking very Amish, gets some aspirin from God.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SAILING WITH BUSHNELL KEELER (1967)

An ominous soundtrack replaces native audio of this not-so quaint sailing trip. We see the titular Keeler, his son Dave and a boyish Lynch himself. Things have slowed down. Not your typical day on the boat vibes; what could have been the darkness he was exploring here? Something something capitalism (yachting shit?)? Doubtful. Slow fade to blackness. Nobody knows.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EARLY EXPERIMENTS (1967-1968)

This odds and ends edit came out on DVD in 2002, comprises various things made around the time leading up to The Alphabet. Flashing images, some living art again, kaleidoscope-style. We then see Lynch and he's clearly 'acting' — slowly moving his hands, casting shadows, etc., and this goes on for several minutes

This transitions into a painting with a symmetrical design with fire underneath, utilizing a mirror effect. Then we see Peggy in a rocking chair in black room. She's having some tea. There are jump scares. Jump scares, yes. Lynchian jump scares. She is legit creepy. Green paint on baby doll head. Mirror effect on Peggy in white room to very successful results.

Easily the freakiest thing yet. Really making good use of mirror and other in-camera FX but maybe edited way later?

Back to the symmetrical living art; the fire increases.

We briefly see Lynch behind the camera again, a slower and even more ominous return.

My one issue is maybe the utilization of this music; I think it would make anything you're watching 90% creepier.

Now things have really slowed down, blurry images

Cut to an older actress but same visuals and scenes from Alphabet room and also Peggy is still there.

Return to the living art and the whole painting has changed and we see a demonic figure at center.

More mirrored stuff with Peggy but more cut up with faster edits and we see some geometric design which looks a lot like the floor in the Twin Peaks red room.

Cool effect over the old lady face, drawing on the film strip...

Mirroring a dead insect now...

I mean, I could just make gifs out of every part of this. Very giffable shit...

Living painting of a tree on black background. And then it ends.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THE ALPHABET (1969)

Probably the best distillation of the early work, condensing all these cool and very weird modes and tricks in a tight four minutes.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THE GRANDMOTHER (1970)

The movie that dares to ask, what if humans grew from the ground like trees and barked like demented seals? At over a half hour this is longest standalone short by a wide margin. It employs similar tactics as The Alphabet (a mix of weirdo live action and kooky living page) but with enhanced sound editing (his first collab with the great sound designer Alan Splet) and a more in-depth narrative: a young boy wets the bed and his dad freaks out, slamming him into the wet spot. The mother's not much better, weirdly over affectionate and so naturally this piss kid grows a grandmother from some magical seeds on his bed. But the trouble persists so he becomes part of the Lynchian cut-out art world and murders them…

Then he briefly makes out with plant Grandma before the whole thing descends into some final chaos. This honestly might be the weirdest thing he's beer made and that's saying something!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

THE AMPUTEE (1974)

The Twin Peaks log lady (Catherine E. Coulson) plays a legless double amputee and she gets her bandaged stumps treated by a male nurse as she narrates a letter she's writing about relationships and people. I really appreciate how everything before was more or less an experiment in the visual and this one — just a single static shot — is experimenting with form. Feels like an important bridge to the future for Lynch.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

Hello again, can you see through a wall? Can you see through human skin? Have you ever seen something startling that others cannot see? There are things in life that exist, yet our eyes cannot see them. One more thing. I grew up in the woods. I understand many things because of the woods. Trees standing together, growing alongside one another, providing so much. How long takes to grow a tree?

Jack Nance (Pete Martell) and Catherine E. Coulson (Margaret Lanterman “The Log Lady”) were married between 1968 and 1976, before they were both cast in Twin Peaks. This is, as far as I remember, the only scene they shared.
