Pros: amazing, AMAZING film; brilliant symbolism and imagery Cons: basically unavailable on video
Seven years in the making, this is one brilliant surreal vision, as bizarre a movie as you will ever see. Starring perennial Lynch favorite Jack Nance, this story follows a strange man with a now-legendery hairstyle, Henry, a printer who fathers a...
Spoiler Warning in Effect Fusing the nightmares of children to haunted parental grief in a gothic theater of the absurd, and welded to a grotesque fantasia in the industrial German expressionistic mold, David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1977) ...
Pros: Lynch's Direction/Script/Editing, Cinematography, Special Effects, Sound, & Cast, notably Nance. Cons: None, Though It Will F*ck You Up.
One of cinema's most original and certainly weirdest directors in the world, David Lynch is a filmmaker who makes films that are often filled with surrealism and an eerie view into the world he is surrounded by. Yet, before he would make such ...
Pros: Interesting beginning of a great (update 1/12/06, 'overrated')career, a few good scenes. Cons: Deliberately evokes ugliness and distaste, pointlessly confusing. It is bizarre, but not profound, just pretentious
"Cult film"; an overused phrase. Nowhere else, however, does it fit as well as here. Eraserhead, released in 1978 (90 minutes) is certainly a cult film. That appellation has appeared nearly everywhere that reference to this film is made. And it is ...
Pros: Production. Performances. Direction. Cons: The first ten minutes are boring.
Eraserhead set David Lynch on the path to legendary cult status, and today it remains one of his most famous works. Throughout the film's 89 minute duration, the audience is bombarded with a slew of confounding and provocative images that linger ...
Pros: Visuals, psycho quality. The meaning is actually graspable in parts. Cons: It's David Lynch, so you're not going to "get" everything.
Now, I'm not sure whether or not it is the huge meal I ate for dinner working it's magic, but I have awoken every hour on the hour (literally) from nightmares since seeing this movie. Eraserhead, the first feature-length film from David Lynch,...
Pros: Originality, special effects, cinematography, surrealism at its best. Cons: Hard to follow at times, deeply disturbing images.
David Lynch must have a good shrink. If his movies are any indication he is one mentally ill individual. Or at least he used to be, now he's just strange.
I'm having a costume party in two weeks and I wanted an obscure costume that could...
Pros: Surreal, strange, fantastic, odd, weird, eraser Cons: See above, but not too far
The Surrealist movement in film really began when Luis Bunel, and Salvadore Dali made the now classic, silent short film Un Chien Andalou( An Andalusian Dog, for those that don't speak any Spanish). Bunel was afraid that the audience would attack...
Pros: One of NYC's longest-running cult flicks... Cons: May be too abstract for some audiences...
This flick was a long-running favorite at the midnight shows at the Waverly Theatre in NYC's Greenwich Village years ago. This was David Lynch's debut in American film, and it had audiences scratching their heads but nevertheless praising his efforts....
What is this movie about? Your guess is as good as mine... Some people say: "what's the pleasure in watching a movie you don't understand?!" Well, to them I say: because it challenges my intellect and there aren't many movies who can do that......
Pros: Effective psychological terror Cons: Deeply disturbing imagery that sticks
The more abstract a work of art is, the more meaningfully obscure and open to interpretation it becomes. David Lynch's 1977 debut film "Eraserhead" is not an easy movie to dissect, let alone watch.
First, I would like to say everyone should see this film. It is the only film I have ever seen that truly deserves the description nightmarish. No matter what you think of it or can make of it it leaves you with that Lynchian feeling of "this...
Pros: Very very Very Deep. Cons: Very very Very Deep.
This is an excellant film. David Lynch is amazing! First off, although the movie was filmed in the nineties it's in black and white, How much more artistic can you get? The movie chronicles the main caracters misled marriage and the birth of his...
Pros: Images that stick in your memory Cons: Images that stick in your memory
This being David Lynch's first film, if he made it to make an impact. Its like nothing else I've ever seen. The film is littered throughout with imagery and symbolism. Much like Lynch's other films you have to work extremely hard if you want to...
MOVIE DVD - Filmed intermittently over the course of a five-year period, David Lynch's radical feature debut stars Jack Nance as Henry Spencer, a man ...More at Barnes and Noble
