If David Lynch Directed Dirty Dancing…

Posted by Dave Mark on May 15, 2009 in Movies, art |

From Matt Drance (via Twitter): There’s just something brilliant about this mashup of scenes cut from Dirty Dancing and music, titles, and sound effects. I love the way something poignant in the original is turned into something disturbing, just by adding a dash of the right audio. Somehow, this just screams David Lynch.

Most folks know David Lynch as the Writer/Director/Producer of the classic TV series, Twin Peaks. But to me, his best, most disturbing work is the movie Eraserhead. I mean, just consider this line from the IMDB plot summary:

“Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child.”

If you are new to David Lynch, that quote should help make sense of the video below. Enjoy!
