The grandmother (1970)

Medium-length film turned in 16 mm, this one lasts 34 mn. Realization, scenario, animation, catch of sights: David Lynch


"The alphabet" will be a wayout for Lynch who, thanks to the AFI, will be able to carry out new short film of a greater width! Thus is born " The grandmother ", once again mixing different styles(images by images, pixellisation, etc...).

The grandmother proposes a scenario more than complex, thus the first images present the birth of a human being (mixture of several drawings). Then this new-born baby appears on ground (taken real). In the same register a woman and a child appear beside the man.

This family thus joined together will have more than surging relations . The child takes refuge in his room and while planting a seed will reveal an old woman who will fill the lack of affection of her parents. Then at the end of several days, like a plant, the grandmother dies. Letting the child rejoins with sadness his ancient life.
