In Heaven Everything is Fine...

So they were showing Eraserhead on Sundance and I said why not check it out. I have to say that I forgot how unnerving it was, especially at night. Eraserhead is the kind of film that almost gives off that tangible feeling you get after waking up from a nightmare, once it's over. David Lynch is an expert at designing an atmosphere of dread through sound and surreal imagery. He knows how to get into your head and stay there for a while, destroying everything that you find normal and safe.

Eraserhead is one of those films you either love or hate. Usually if you love it, you can only watch it once or twice, it isn't the type of film you check out for fun...unless your emotionally disturbed, no offense to those who disagree with me. I once heard someone call it the anti-date movie; so if you ever want to test your significant other, put it at the top of your list. Nevertheless, it is one of those films that does leave a mark, no matter what your opinion of it is. Usually everyone has different reactions to it, but it is usually always surrounded with a feeling of disgust or confusion. Most people are just left wondering and scratching their head, "What just happened, what was that all about?" That's usually when I answer, "How about another David Lynch film, to take off the edge?"
