Absurd Encounter With Fear, d. David Lynch (USA, 1967)
David Lynch's enigmatic debut film is a mere two minutes long, but manages to be packed with his characteristic mix of horror, humour and unknowable oddness. In it, a blue faced man lumbers across a meadow towards a frightened looking girl. Drawing close to her, he fiddles with his fly and pulls out handfuls of dandelions. The girl is oblivious to what he is doing. When he is finished, he turns to gaze directly at the viewer, and he then collapses, presumably dead.
Lynch died on the 16th of January last year. This world is lousy without him.
