Dumbland/One (15)
 Review
For David Lynch completists, one might say masochists, come these online-born oddities. Dumbland is an eight-episode ‘cartoon’ series hand-drawn and voiced by Lynch himself. Very rough, it follows a hideously devolved middle-American brute tormenting all those around him. Its flickering, agitated style captures a paranoid energy, and the splurges of rage, violence and off-the-wall freakery (check out the duck-fucking neighbour) recall everything from Eraserhead to Blue Velvet.
One is a nutty mosaic of docu-slices on the various art ‘projects’ and ruminations that occupy Lynch’s daily life. There’s on-set footage from Inland Empire, an art project with miniature wooden buffalo, meditation, phone calls, occassional acute insight, and much random musing: “Imagine trying to get a cow in a pick-up truck... A dead cow.”
