Synopsis

In the Wild West, three cowboys capture a mysterious, well-dressed Frenchman who introduces himself through his country’s culinary specialties and classic poetry. This collision of cultures, stormy at first, paves the way for a joyful bonfire evening.

MUBI's take

Slow your horses, partner! Yes, you read that right—this is a deep cut from the one and only David Lynch. Complete with a charmingly goofy turn from Harry Dean Stanton, this miniature comedy mixes American spirit with French panache and ends in a dream-like spectacle worthy of Lady Liberty.
