A bizarro satire of Westerns and French culture, David Lynch's short film The Cowboy and the Frenchman was produced for French TV and essentially parodies the American conceptualization of the French as beret-wearing, snail-eating sissies. Simultaneously, the film pokes fun at the stereotypes of cowboys and Native Americans. The Cowboy and the Frechman feels like a surrealist version of an episode of Hee Haw or possibly a tripped-out version of a Roy Rogers film. If there is a point to the film, it is merely to mock our stereotypes of one another, but more than that it is just an enjoyably strange romp than could only have been created by David Lynch--it doesn't hurt that it features Harry Dean Stanton and Tracey Walter who both appeared in Alex Cox's Repo Man.

"What the hell?" I probably shouldn't write a review for this because it's really one part of a five part series titled LES FRANCAIS VUS PAR, or THE FRENCH AS SEEN BY.... I'm not even sure if the series was ever televised or not. Either way, this episode/short film is included on the above pictured DVD, so I figured I'd rate it as a short film unto iself. In this film, David Lynch takes a stab at directing comedy. Hilarious and ludicrous are the correct words to describe this film, which begins with three cowboys coming into contact with a wandering Frenchman, who speaks no English. After going through the contents of his suitcase, the cowboys decide he's French. There's an indian, cowgirls, rock and roll music, and an almost senseless plot. So, yeah, THE COWBOY AND THE FRENCHMAN is fun, comedic Lynchian entertainment.

A bizarre short that I don't think I'll ever be able to fully understand, and I don't think I need to.

As far as humor goes, The Cowboy and the Frenchmen is really where its at as far as David Lynch's short films are concerned. Starring Harry Dean Stanton, Jack Nance, and Tracey Walter, it's basically about stereotypes and the humor that can come from them when put in certain situations. Filmed around the time of Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart, it's a fine short film that's quite humorous and is easily one of David Lynch's more digestible short films.

Really lame short from David Lynch. What was he thinking?
