Eraserhead
Guy next to me shows up 10 minutes late and goes “Damn I must’ve missed something important”. Nope buddy that’s just the film.
Gorgeous and visually compelling, full of imagination and unreal texture.
First time I watched this was in college. I was blackout drunk with my roommate and we sat horizontally on his bed while viewing the movie on his oversized computer monitor. My memory of that experience is hazy, and yet I cannot say I understood the film any more a second time around. What a feat.
Happy birthday David Lynch!
