Writer: David Lynch
Cast: Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph
There is not much point talking about plot in a David Lynch film. Eraserhead is Lynch's first feature film and it was produced with a $10,000 grant and as the money ran out he completed the film over five years. It was a midnight classic than ran as a cult classic in several American cities and London. Mel Brooks asked Lynch to direct 'The Elephant Man' after seeing this film and Eraserhead is a favorite for Stanley Kubrick as well. Kubrick showed it to the cast of Shining before the shoot began to convey to them what mood he was looking for in his film.
A notable feature of Eraserhead is its soundtrack. Throughout the most duration of the film it sounds like the one we get when we tune radio and at other times he uses industrial sounds.
Rating: 4/5
