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]

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.

[Christophe Bassett]

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]

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...

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

Pete Rock the incredibly talented Rapper/Producer? (theres only one)

[Hemi2050]

Two rocks.

That's the hipster way of saying "I fucking hate school. It's so boring."

I think it's a statement of the effects school has on the mind, from all the caged-material and all the nonsensical logic in this video.

Plus, there's the direct statement of "school" in the middle of the video. :| And the beginning is a variant of a 1st-grade test question.

[MattSatriani]

It seems a new version of "The Alphabet"

Peter 3:14 - But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."

[dabearcub]
