Absurdist Comedy
I am a huge fan of the work of Director David Lynch. And I’m happy to say that I’ve found a torrent of one of his most rare works: The Cowboy and The Frenchman. It’s David Lynch + absurdist comedy, so it won me over as soon as I heard its description, but I thought I’d share with all of you. But first, here’s Mr. Lynch himself describing the short film:
An absurd comedy. A Frenchman was in New York City and some very kind people gave him some pills in Central Park. Then he took them, and the next thing he knows is he ends up at a ranch in the West and Harry Dean Stanton is the foreman and Jack (Nance) and Tracey (Walter) are the sidekicks. And they don’t know what he is, until they start going through his valise. Finally, they figure out that he’s a Frenchman. And it goes from there.
