Review of The Alphabet (1969) by Asif K — 22 Jan 2011
A bizarre meditation upon the angst of learning, this early film from David Lynch transforms the alphabet song into a surrealist nightmare that taunts a young woman. This brief film is also a rather compelling depiction of language as a living being, as a pulsating lifeform that can give birth to its own monsters.
