I really am grateful that Criterion Channel has this because I love to come back and rewatch it— along with The Alphabet. I think there is something so so special about Lynch’s short films in that he always proves without any question to deliver some of the most unsettling and memorable scenes in such a short amount of time. This is also extra special because Lynch in nurse outfit and Log Lady!
