Ivan's Favorite Movies
Eraserhead
Unrated
Lynch worked five year on his first full-length movie, to create a surreal and disturbing collage of his phantasms and fears. It is a nightmarish world of alienation and loss of identity, An absurd man named Henry, overwhelmed with fear and passivity is being haunted by his degenerated self, symbolically manifested in his degenerated infant of gender which cannot be identified. That's just one interpretation among lots of alternatives which try to explain the latent logic of Lynch's subconscious.
Die Fälscher (The Counterfeiters) (The Counterfeiter)
R
The Austrian Oscar winner for best foreign movie. It's about concentration camp survival in WWII thanks to the gift of counterfeiting the British pound and the American dollar for the purposes to destroy the allies' economy. Watch it. As I said, it's a masterpiece about survival, not about economy,,,
