Part of David Lynch: A Retrospective

In David Lynch’s first feature, a lowly worker who lives in a stark, industrial world is beset upon by nightmarish visions when his girlfriend and her mutant newborn move into his small apartment. Every bit as experimental and astounding as it was when first released, ERASERHEAD is unlike anything before or since — surreal and expressionistic, upsetting and inspiring, a work of art so original that it’s spawned a litany of pretenders, love letters and send-ups.
