Eraserhead

(1977) dir David Lynch w/Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates [89 min; DCP]
Few filmmakers do mind-bending quite as well as David Lynch, and his almost inexplicable first feature film is proof positive. As ghastly and claustrophobic as a Kafka story gone horribly wrong, ERASERHEAD is a highly stylized, nightmare vision of a regular guy who works in a factory and dreams of finding a better life.
