Eraserhead https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Eraserhead.jpg/330px-Eraserhead.jpg Dir: David Lynch Genre: Fantasy, Horror Year: 1977 If you're looking for an entree into weird, dark, experimental avant garde filmmaking, look no further than David Lynch's debut feature. Eraserhead has no "plot" or story in the traditional sense. It is driven almost purely by atmosphere and symbolism--an abstract work of art that reflects the psychological fears of young parenthood. Eraserhead really is all about atmosphere. A hallmark of Lynch's work (especially here) is that he's about to imbue a sense of dread without you really understanding why from a logical sense. That's the beauty of how effective this film is--and the reason why you hear stories like Stanley Kubrick making the cast of The Shining watch it before filming. It works on an almost primitive level, and it's a brilliant thing to behold. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
