Hmm. Another weirdo early David Lynch short film has a woman with a double leg amputation writing a letter (which she narrate in voice over) as a hospital attendant, played by Lynch, attends to her stumps. Weird and not all that interesting or insightful. Lynch was asked to make a film by the American Film Institute to test two new black and white video tape stocks and this was the result. Fredrick Elms photographed the short. One and a half stars for sheet stomach turning weirdness.
