What Did Jack Do?
What Did Jack Do? is a 2017 American black-and-white short film written and directed by David Lynch. It premiered on November 8, 2017, at the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris. It was later released to Netflix on January 20, 2020. In the movie, a detective interrogates a capuchin monkey who possibly committed a murder.
It is a strange film of 17 minutes" On May 20, 2018, the short had its U.S. premiere during Lynch's "Festival of Disruption" in New York. On January 20, 2020, the date of Lynch's 74th birthday, the short was made available for streaming to Netflix.
Another example of a prestige director with a short film on Netflix, but where PTA felt like he was breaking new ground with Anima, Lynch goes full Lynchian in this 17-min short that surprisingly dropped on Netflix earlier in 2020. With the director taking a starring role in his film, alongside a monkey in a suit, that he's subjecting to a stern line of questioning about a murder, What Did Jack Do? is steeped in Lynch's trademark non-sequiturs and absurd sense of humor.
