Eraserhead (1977)
Manage episode 458838807 series 3435525
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Maybe we could use a break after the busy holiday months but we’re just so damned anxious to show off our new makeover that we gotta hit the ground running for January’s theme of 5 DIRECTORS and for week one’s director we got a fellow we are fairly familiar with on this show. Week one is DAVID LYNCH’S FIRST THREE and if you know a little bit then you know that David Lynch’s first film is the notorious ERASERHEAD from 1977 and it stands as a seminal work to this very day of an artists vision that looked very refined from the jump. Awkward, tragic, funny and rather horrifying is this tale of sudden domesticity amidst urban decay. Lynch always declared this one his most spiritual and it certainly comes off rather personal. As crazy as it is, it might be easier to interpret than certain other Lynch films. It’s practically impossible not to consider Jack Nance’s “Henry Spencer” as a stand in for Lynch himself. Also…that baby? We would have loved it. We wouldn’t even have minded it laughing at us. The Lady in the Radiator? Instantly married. New stepmom. Happily ever after in black and white. This is Heaven and everything is fine. Here’s a link: https://www.effedupmovies.com/eraserhead-1977/
