back from a Lynching

I finally saw the David Lynch exhibit at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, which is only a few blocks away from Reid Hall. I have to conclude that the man is completely goddamn insane, but brilliant. For instance, I saw most of an early short film that was about an abused boy who "plants" some weird rock thing on his bed, that grows and eventually becomes a grandmother-like figure, who helps the boy in his attempts to end his parents' abuse. Or something. It's a lot weirder than it sounds; there was some Terry Gilliamesque animation, and a completely random scene of characters crawling around on all fours and barking like dogs. My favorite part of the exhibit was the incredibly disturbing Distorted Nude series. Now, I really need to see some more of his films.
