“What makes Eraserhead great — and still, perhaps the best of all Lynch’s films? Intensity. Nightmare clarity. And perhaps also it’s the single-mindedness of its vision.” ”
John Nance stars as Henry Spencer, a loner who lives in a bleak apartment deep in the heart of an industrial wasteland. When Henry discovers that his fling with Mary X (Charlotte Stewart) left her pregnant, he marries her and has her move into his appartment - which is when things take a turn for the weird... A surreal medition on the fears of parenthood, David Lynch's first feature is a stone-cold-classic debut, one that heralded an exciting new cinematic voice - and one of the most strangely beautiful films ever made.
