Be Kind Rewind Bristol Cinema Club is proud to revisit David Lynch's dream of dark and torubling things, ERASERHEAD (1977) on Thursday 5th September downstairs at The Ill Repute.

David Lynch’s 1977 debut feature, Eraserhead, is both a lasting cult sensation and a work of extraordinary craft and beauty. With its mesmerizing black-and-white photography by Frederick Elmes and Herbert Cardwell, evocative sound design, and unforgettably enigmatic performance by Jack Nance, this visionary nocturnal odyssey continues to haunt American cinema like no other film.

Once seen, it's impossible to unsee. Lynch's nightmarish DIY destruction of the fourth, fifth and sixth walls of cinema needs to be watched again and again and again and again.

Entry requirements: 18+
