Darkened Room is a 2002 short surrealist experimental psychological drama film written, directed, shot, and produced by David Lynch. It first appeared on Lynch's website and was subsequently released on the DVD Dynamic:01.
A Japanese woman (Etsuko Shikata) shows the viewer her apartment in Tokyo and muses on the amount of bananas produced worldwide, before telling the viewer that her friend next door is sad. The scene cuts to an American woman (Jordan Ladd) crying on a sofa when a second American woman (Cerina Vincent) enters, says cruel things to her, and threatens to tell her "the truth". The film then fades to black.

Production
The film was shot on digital video. In an introduction that appears on the Dynamic:01 DVD, Lynch called the film "an experiment based on some idea" and said it "was always some kind of tie in to bananas, information concerning bananas, so we can all learn some things as we enjoy the shows". He then laughs.
