Eraserhead
It’s been over three years since I last watched this??? What the fuck?!?!
I love Lynch, I love Surrealism, and I love gross shit. Munch it up into a ball and make a weird alien sperm baby with it, you’d have my love for this very spiritual Lynch film according to him. In 2022 I was just getting into watching movies, and hadn’t even so much as dipped my toes into the world of Art House or Midnight Movies. Now three years and many bat shit bizarro films later, this isn’t nearly as nuts or gross out as I remembered. There’s so much breakdown that could/should be done with this film. And one I would have loved to see Lynch do a frame by frame breakdown of. But at the end of the day… understanding is boring. Any jackass can say they understand something, I wanna hear how it made you feel. And that’s what Lynch was so great at. Yes you may have left the movie confused, but what did the film do to you, mentally? Spiritually? Did the fear and unknown consume you? Were you left with a hollow feeling, and a different outlook of the world? And that’s just what Eraserhead is…
