Week of January 20-26, 2019
David Lynch cooks a monkey
A monkey, a hen and David Lynch enter a station… This is not a joke, but the starting point of the beautiful surprise that the director reserved for his fans on the occasion of his 74th birthday this Monday on Netflix. The 17-minute short film What Did Jack Do? (What did Jack do? In OV) stages the improbable interrogation of a detective (David Lynch) cooking a Capuchin monkey (Marcel in Friends ), suspected of the murder of Max Clegg, the lover of his beloved, a hen named Toototabon. As in Twin Peaks , David Lynch has fun diverting the codes from the thriller. A surreal lock-up interspersed with black humor, absurdity and lyricism proper to all the masterpieces of the creator of Mulholland Drive. Does this short film foreshadow a future collaboration between the streaming platform and the brilliant filmmaker? The mystery is complete.
A very trashy TV zapping
Canal + never stops making alliances. After Netflix and before Disney +, the Vivendi subsidiary has just set up a partnership with WarnerMedia. The American channel Adult Swim in SVOD has been included in Canal + offers since Thursday. The opportunity to review the first eight seasons of a little gem of irreverence in stop motion, Robot Chicken . This animated series, created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, follows a chicken transformed into a robot by a mad scientist, following a road accident. Out of sadism, the scientist ties the poor beast to an electric chair and forces him to watch television, in reference to the Ludovico method in the film Mechanical Orange . Each episode is made up of a series of sketches, representing the forced zapping of the spotted chicken and parodies many aspects of popular American culture. Do you want to see Barbie beheaded, see Ken do somersaults with Musclor or measure how sociable GI Joe is? This punk gem with a slash of trash humor is made for you. Sensitive souls, pass your turn!
Web strikes back
Internet ? It is above all what everyone makes of it. The weekly Arte Webmagazine Tous les internets has had a new season since Monday on the ARTE, ARTE Info, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Snapchate networks. These 26 episodes, lasting 3 minutes, carry a common message that feeds "empowerment" by giving voice to activists, bloggers, whistleblowers or network hackers. The first episode focuses, for example, on the revolt of feminicidal collages. For all those interested in the new forms of democratic vigilance, emancipation or mobilization linked to the digital!
