Welcome to a new installment of DIRECTORIAL DEBUTS, where we look at some of the best, most interesting, and iconic directors and the films that started their careers. This week we take a look at the surreal masterpiece that is David Lynch's ERASERHEAD!
Eraserhead is a complex film filled with symbolism and some convoluted hidden messages. Surrounding a man named Henry Spencer, and what you could call his mid-life crisis, Henry goes through a series of difficult trials and tribulations of sorts. He deals with his difficult industrial job, his difficult girlfriend and the deformity that is his child. Like most of Lynch's films the plot becomes lost in the visuals and symbolisms.
