Rabbits

Absurd genius or idiocy unbounded? Hard to say, but David Lynch’s work can hardly surprise anybody anymore. Three actors in costume, an apartment, a long static shot, atmospheric music, frenetic laughter from the audience, a minimum of dialogs and a couple of sounds in the background. And that's all. The main thing is, though, that this is more “entertaining" than most regular comedy shows. And Naomi Watts is especially delicious here. (03/08/2007)

The year 2002 was quite a fruitful year for David Lynch, but unfortunately, he focused mainly on short films and experiments. This film is also an experiment. Actors on stage in a theater or during sitcom filming have rabbit heads and perform for an invisible audience that laughs unexpectedly and applauds at unexpected moments. In this sense, it's absurdity with some expressive power, unlike DumbLand. Honestly, this could have been handled in 10 minutes or less; it didn't need the full 50 minutes. (19/02/2014)
