Delve deeper into the labyrinthine psyche of surrealist nightmare-weaver David Lynch with these unsettling, hallucinatory shorts that reflect the origins and evolution of his singular style. Spanning the early experimental and painterly works that laid the foundation for his cult sensation ERASERHEAD, these films are replete with the sinister, uncanny imagery that could have emerged only from an artist so deeply in tune with his subconscious.

  • Six Men Getting Sick (1967)
  • The Alphabet (1968)
  • The Grandmother (1970)
  • The Amputee, Version 1 and Version 2 (1974)
  • Premonitions Following an Evil Deed (1995)
