Experimental/Obscure Themed Movies In My Collection

For over three decades, no one has had the same illustrious illusion...or disillusion as the writer and director of ERASERHEAD. David Lynch has said in his interview contained on the ERASERHEAD DVD from Absurda, that fans have expressed many different outlooks on his landmark film, but none even close to what he envisioned while writing and filming this masterpiece. Brilliantly done in everyway, ERASERHEAD stands out as one of the more hidden gems of important cinema. Lynch's astounding visual effects and subtle glances at sexual frustration and lonliness are well executed by stars JACK NANCE (R.I.P.) and Charlotte Stewart. The amazing sexual reproduction intro has to be seen to believe. At some points in the film, hints of occult and evil imagery flicker for milliseconds and beyond, never really uncloaking itself to the viewer. Also (depending on your outlook and creative curve), I find the film carrying on in a sort of exploitation comedy. The sets are crafty and elegant, although sometimes the film gives off a vibe very close to a stage play...in no way a bad thing. The Lady In The Radiator is very astonishing and extremely creepy. Her "In Heaven" song has to be the most memorable scene in the film. Most of what I have explained are hidden from the non eccentric viewer, yet eccentrics like myself tend to delve deep. Sometime a little too deep that we over-analyze. I stand by my synopsis 100 percent. ERASERHEAD is not for the lax newbie viewer. The film relates more to hardcore Experimental/Art film buffs. For fans of Kenneth Anger, E. Elias Merhige, Maya Deren, and more notably Stanley Kubrick.
