Review of Eraserhead (1977) by Kkl10 A — 05 Apr 2014

Eraserhead (1977) - 10.

Go to your basement alone, make sure it's completely dark and silent then playback this movie and let yourself go. This is David Lynch cinematic language in all it's surreal and bizarre magnificence. To me this movie defines a whole new category of its own. I know it for a long time but I'm never fully done with it, no matter how many times replayed I cannot free myself from the need to watch Eraserhead again. No other movie is able to make me feel like I'm daydreaming, as if Lynch had extracted a dream from my head and made it a movie. Maybe that's why I'm not able to find anything less than perfect with it and to give it a more impartial score, seems like every single technical aspect of this movie was literally sculpted to it's last detail to induce me into dreaming, everything here works for the experience, perfection of a singular work. I love this movie f**k all the rest!
