Plot
In a locked down train station, a homicide detective conducts an interview with a tormented monkey who is suspected of murder.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lynch stages a deadpan police interrogation in black and white, with a suspect who happens to be a monkey. It is absurd, hypnotic and short enough that the joke never wears out. Pure curiosity cabinet material for anyone who enjoys his stranger instincts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
