Storyline
Dressed up in a formal suit, evoking memories of Twin Peaks (1990)' Special Agent Dale Cooper, David Lynch's hard-boiled, chain-smoking detective probes into the personal life of inscrutable Jack Cruz: a suspect related to a hideous crime of passion. Now, against the backdrop of a gritty, black-and-white railroad station café, and a ceaseless battle of wits, the masterful interrogator presses Jack to confess to the murder of Max Clegg; however, his evasive answers prove that Jack is a hard nut to crack. But, there is an elephant in the room. So, let's dispense with the formalities and start talking turkey. What did Jack do? Written by Nick Riganas

This short film is incredibly Lynchian. It's purely a signature of style, and I mean that in the most positive way possible. However, I can't help but wonder, if this short came from anyone else who lacked the renown which Lynch has, would it be viewed as anything more than a peculiar piece that you pass by after five minutes? It's good in its eerie, dream-like quality, truly, but I'm torn as to whether this is noteworthy solely because of what it is in style or simply because of who made it--content aside. I suppose I'm at a stalemate of neutrality on this one. Draw your own conclusions, and I hope you enjoy, either way!
