Summary: Family Nightmare
Review: Mystery man living on a dark planet. Constant industrial noise. Dark, dank depressing atmosphere. Flickering lights. A bowl of water kept in a sock drawer. Scratchy records. The horrors of an unwanted family. Sexual awakening. Horrifying in-laws. Mechanical chickens. The brunette bad girl across the hall. Desire. The blonde good girl in the radiator. Deformed baby. Wailing baby. Stuck suitcases. Sick baby. Dancing poop. Squashing sperm/fetus dance. Dreams within dreams. Francis Bacon painting brought to life. Tyrannical bosses and inept employees. Severed heads that yield good erasers. Dead baby. Boy gets girl. Quintessential Lynch. You know you love it. I am sorry for the sentence fragments, but I thought it was true to the film's narrative style. Does Eraserhead make sense? Sure it does if you don't try to watch it like you would watch a TV show. The plot is presented in a completely original manner and if you break it down, you will see it has a deeply logical underlying order. It has a few red herrings and odd comic slapstick filler thrown in to further confuse those who are already confused as to life's true purposes. This film is a masterpiece and is meant to be watched many times. I bought the DVD from David Lynch's website and the transfer, the visual quality, and the sound are phenomenal. Get it.
