That crazy fucker really did it. David Fincher, one of our great working film auteurs, really made a short film where the Red Hot Chili Peppers are string puppets. Last month, we learned that Fincher was directing “Can’t Stop,” a new film from the Netflix animation anthology Love Death + Robots. (Fincher is one of the show’s executive producers, and Deadpool director Tim Poole is the creator. This is the first time that Fincher has directed for the series.) The new season of Love Death + Robots is out now, and David Fincher’s short really is just a marionette version of the Chili Peppers performing, as advertised. It’s a truly surreal thing to witness.
