It’s a terrific day to be Netflix. Not most effective has the streaming service just announced that it’ll be hosting almost the whole Studio Ghibli catalogue outside of Japan and the USA/Canada, mere hours later it’s come to be the house of an totally-unannounced David Lynch quick movie.

The director has just debuted a modern day 17-minute movie titled What Did Jack Do? On Netflix – you could watch it right now, right here.
The film is shot completely in scratchy black-and-white, and capabilities Lynch himself as a detective, interrogating the ‘Jack’ of the title in regards to a homicide investigation. The twist? Jack is a lovable little monkey carrying a tiny suit. And he talks. Yes, David Lynch simply made a talking monkey movie.

It is, as you’d anticipate from Lynch, extremely weird, oddly funny, and virtually pretty unsettling – and the finale?

Well, we’ll leave you to experience it for yourself, but it’s easily one of the strangest matters you’ll see today.
The film – which includes Lynch interrogating the monkey with hardball traces like, “Now you listen, you’ve been visible with chickens, associating with chickens” – is written, directed, and edited with the aid of Lynch. It’s unknown who voices the monkey (‘Jack Cruz’ is credited as ‘himself’), however it wouldn’t be a stretch to wager that that’s Lynch too.
Having previously directed the 18-episode stretch of Twin Peaks: The Return, this 17-minute mini-feature proves he isn’t performed experimenting with form and period yet. Fans awaiting his next movie assignment can revel in What Did Jack Do? For the meantime – and take pleasure in a global wherein a marvel Lynch joint can be sprung up on the net before everyone knew it existed.
