Eraserhead

Eraserhead

Blu-ray - 2014

A nightmarish collage of images which blends the grotesque and the absurd, the deeply disturbing and the darkly humorous. Henry is the nerdish central character who lives in a squalid apartment with a strange girl and their monstrous baby. The extraordinary special effects create an eerie, dream-like world with a logic all its own.

Review by Library Journal Review

"A dream of dark and troubling things" is director David Lynch's oblique description of his first feature. Nightmare is more like it, as the bizarre yet hypnotic film depicts a bouffant-haired oddball (Jack Nance) caring for his grotesque "baby" in a shabby flat amid a barren urban landscape. Moody sound and cinematography testify to the craft that forged a midnight-movie hit and eventual National Film Registry finalist from material only a cultist could love. Restored and extras-laden, this edition befits the film's standing. [See Trailers, LJ 8/14.] (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
