Woods (Dev Patel) arrives to check on his friend Harry (Benedict Cumberbatch). Harry quietly indicates that he has a deadly snake on his stomach. Dr. Ganderbai (Ben Kingsley) comes to help extract it.
This is a Wes Anderson film adapted from a Roald Dahl story. He has released four such shorts on Netflix. In a way, these combine for a full length movie. Maybe that's the initial intention. This is the first short that I watched. The monotone narration does need some getting used to. Eventually, I get the point. We're looking for a snake in Cumberbatch's pants. I can't help but smile at that. Then the short takes a sharp turn and plays the race card. It's a big swing. It puts an exclamation point on this short.
