David Lynch's Absurda ???


Hi.

Is David Lynch's Absurda a part of this movie ?
It was shown yesterday at Cannes Festival and on tv it was said that it is a part of it.

But i can't find David Lynch in the list of the directors here.

It would make sense, because i saw Absurda and it really looks like the other parts of "Chacun son cinéma".
I guess it will be on the dvd :).

No, David Lynch is out of this.

Wait a sec!

His name is now in the credits!

Cool, and it looks like there'll be a special edition.

I saw the movie at the local cinemateque tonight, but there was no Lynch. The Coen Brothers' short was there, but I don't think the second Walter Salles short was there.

Are there several version of the film (I'm talking about the film, not the DVD), one without Lynch?? Or was Lynch never part of the theatrical film?

reply

Is there a DVD out with Lynchs part?

Or the Coens?

What on earth are you guys talking about? I just finished watching it and Lynch is very much there. And yes, the segment is very Lynch. The impact was so powerful that it just stuck with me during the running of the entire movie. Hats off to him, the other directors just couldn't match the powerhouse he built.

Absurda is not such a great short, but the direction is fantastic. And yep, it is pretty absurd.
