After our midnight screening of David Lynch's debut film, we're bringing it back at a more sensible hour - it's Eraserhead for sleepyheads!
By turns hypnotic, hilarious, terrifying and transgressive, it simultaneously channels the spirit of surrealism, Antonin Artaud and the Marx Brothers, while its stream-of-consciousness imagery has indelibly seared itself onto any number of minds and turned up as any number of tattoos on the bodies of the film's considerable fanbase.
More than any other of Lynch's work, the film holds onto its cryptic meanings like a clergyman holding onto a seashell - and any attempt at interpretation was dismissed by Lynch (in his trademark, aw-shucks Montanan drawl) with a simple 'that ain't it!'. For what it's worth, the late maestro once described 'Eraserhead' as his most spiritual film - make what you will (or won't) of that when you see it.
