When I first read the news that David Lynch was recruited to direct a short film for Dior, I was both weirded out and yet intrigued at the same time. The film (check it out after the jump!), which premiered during the unveiling of the Dior Cruise Collection in Shanghai, is very much a Lynch film: eerie music, hard spotlights, creepy smoke, low camera angles, and a narrative that makes your head spin a bit.

According to Lynch, Galliano and company gave him little direction: “They called me up and said, ‘Would you like to make a short film for the internet? You can do anything you want, you just need to show the handbag, the Pearl Tower and some old Shanghai.’”

If anything, watch it for the chance to see
