ERASERHEAD

I’m hesitant to say what I believe David Lynch’s Eraserhead is about—being a David Lynch film, it could be about practically anything. Like almost all of his work, it is an obtuse film. But the narrative holds your interest. The creepy black and white photography and surreal sets paired with the oddness of the characters, creates a viewing experience that feels like you’re watching someone’s nightmare. Eraserhead demonstrates that Lynch was a filmmaker with a point of view right from the start.
