The Amputee David Lynch 1974 USA A legless woman sits and writes an incoherent letter while a doctor struggles to bandage up her stumps. A five-minute Lynch short which must be admired for simultaneously sucking you into this puzzle while also repelling you with the sight (and sound) of the doctor going to work with the stump. One almost forgets the main character is talking, but all the while her words, which mean nothing, register on an unconscious level and keep you watching. It is made all the more interesting, boring, repulsive and outright weird by repeating itself entirely.
