Viennale-Trailer 2011: The 3 Rs (by David Lynch)

Viennale Trailer 2011 "The 3 Rs"
directed by David Lynch
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2061818/

With a sledgehammer approach a man, clad in a hat and coat, tries to cast out the nonsense on Earth. Every time he wields his tool and lets it come crashing down a pitiful screeching can be heard underground. The air is humming and buzzing aggressively with the sound of invisible insects flying to the attack. Nature is defending itself. Perhaps the man is having a psychotic
episode. Or he is trapped in a film by David Lynch.
The 3 R's may be a reference to the three basic educational skills Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic; cultural techniques that, as Lynch's dense school nightmare makes quite clear, are simultaneously techniques of manipulation, restriction and control. The question posed at the beginning regarding the number of stones in Pete's hands is not trivial. Why two? Why not three? Or 14?
In accordance with the Lynchian dissolution of cinematic narratives in an associative tangle of terror, everything that seemed to be linear, firmly established and secure is breaking down. Liberated images liberate thoughts. Or do free thoughts free images? There are spaces where
experiences beyond the scientific-technical conception of the world can be made. In cinema even a squeaky bathtub duck can bleed if you cut off its head.

Does anybody know the exact date of this release?

[FilmFestivalViennale]

@christophebassett

this is not a trailer as usual. This little film was especially made for the Viennale - Film Festival and is meant to be the festival's trailer, not a trailer for a feature film.

[christophebassett]

@FilmFestivalViennale I understand that it's not for a feature film, I was just wondering when this festival's trailer was released, because I was curious about how long I was missing out on it.

[FilmFestivalViennale]

@christophebassett This trailer premiered on sept. 21st 2011, and it screened from 22nd sept. 2011 in over hundred cinemas in Austria and Germany and during the festival in Vienna. The Trailer is online since 22nd sept. too...

[masochistcmoose]

So is this a short film or a movie trailer?

[FilmFestivalViennale]

@masochistcmoose: The idea of the annual Viennale festival trailer is not to create a classical trailer, but an entirely independent and autonomous moment of cinema which is neither solely advertisement nor representation.

31 people thought Pete had only 2 rocks.

- school is teaching you about obvious, touchable things

- it's putting the emphasis on how you say stuff, not what you say

- correcting it or saying it's the other way around leaves you bewildered

- shool kills your imagination and childness

- you end up raping the Earth

- despite the warnings you continue

- flies buzzing is sound of your mortality, sound of time

If I didnt know it was david lynch who made this, i would have thought it was a parody of his work.

[HakimSalaban]

Lynch is bitch

[BoredOfFakeTalents]

People acutally think this is the trailer for a Lynch film? Remember when Romero directed that commercial for Resident Evil.. that's basically what Lynch has done for the festival.

[jvemPiRe14]

how much rock n roll does pete have?

[robertkeeganwalker]

Pete has two potatoes

[SJ363]

The name Pete actually means Rock. 

[Jaacoopp]

@Felhof1 Yes that is what i thought.

[Felhof1]

Who said that the guy with the 2 rocks was pete?

[skaroruki]

@Sandcat87 That's fine. I didn't think about it at all, it just came to me right after watching it, so it's not really overthinking or overanalyzing. And I think you couldn't say anything about it if it was a 2hour piece.
