Rabbits

⭐ 5.5/10

(Originally written by kaelwilton)

I don't know why I watched this. This is another David Lynch project, so I went in with no idea what to expect, and I still do not know what I ended up getting. It was freaky as hell, confusing, eerie, and long (even though it's only 40 minutes).

Rabbits tells the story of three rabbits living in an apartment in a city that is plagued by constant rain, but there is an ominous secret that the rabbits live with.

The dialogues are jumbled and disorienting, the visuals are dreary and eerie, the way the plot progresses (if you can even say it progresses) is weird as frick, and each "scene" is filmed in one shot (the camera does not move throughout each scene).

Despite it creeping the frick out of me, it somehow managed to keep me interested throughout the whole runtime. The constant confusion and eerieness had me at the edge of my seat, and honestly I had to see how it ended.

After doing some research afterwards I learned that David Lynch was supposedly trying to create a satirical look at sitcoms, and I can kind of see where that's coming from, but as with most David Lynch content, I feel as if he was just trying to make the weirdest film ever.

I don't know if I can recommend this "film" with a good conscious, but if you want to be unsettled and confused this may be the movie for you.
