David Lynch stares down an unlikely murder suspect — a monkey — in his new Netflix short film, 'What Did Jack Do?'
The film, shot in a crackling black and white, follows Lynch as he interrogates the disturbed, suit-clad monkey in a train station. Between cinematic puffs of a cigarette, the filmmaker grills the accused criminal with clichéd hardball detective questions, often themed around animals . Jack responds with deranged nonsense and evasive one-liners , all pouring out of a digitally imposed mouth.
In classic Lynch fashion, the scenes are surreal, disturbing and hilarious. The peak arrives toward the end when Jack sings a slow, saccharine love song while swaying under a spotlight: “True love’s flame burns so bright/It’s love delight/Once upon a time, we danced/Once upon a time, we took a chance,” he croons.
