The Amputee is an extremely piercing, sadomasochistic experience. At least for those who manage to watch it until the end. It’s so simple – to the point of being primitive – and yet so impressive! Brrr!

It can't be said that this film is completely about nothing. It evokes certain emotions again, plus there is a great connection between gritty reality and very dark humor here, but unfortunately it's just another piece for me where Lynch tried to see what is possible to shoot. The contrast between what the woman is reading and what the medical assistant is doing to her is great, but it doesn't blow me away.
