Eraserhead

This film hits harder if you were born a month premature… A nightmarish but also deeply interesting and engaging look at the decay of post war America, the anxiety of being a parent and accepting responsibility, lust, sexual repression, post capitalism, neglect, generational trauma, grief, regret and temptation. No other director has had a directorial debut this fucking good and strong, nearly all of Lynch’s hallmarks and trademarks are in this film which so impressive.  Need to rewatch the return of twin peaks to figure out which is my favourite lynch movie but so far this is probably it.
