Eraserhead (released in France as The Labyrinth Man) is a 1977 film written and directed by David Lynch and starring Jack Nance. The film has become a cult classic due to its surreal imagery, strange soundtrack and its generally dreamlike aura. Lynch has described his film as, "A dream of dark and troubling things."http://www.lynchnet.com/lh/cinebg.html In 2004, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

Interpreting the film

---

Eraserhead is considered a difficult film to understand and is open to various interpretations. For example, the review at DVD Verdict offers at least three interpretations.http://www.dvdverdict.com/printer/eraserhead.php The story does not have a strictly linear trajectory, it is punctuated with fantasy/dream sequences of differing lengths, and the boundary between these fantasy/dream sequences and the primary narrative strand is often blurred. Lynch has said he has yet to read an interpretation of the film that is the same as his own.

@LibraryCynthia David Lynch is one of my favorites. Eraserhead was a tough one to watch though, especially after having kids.
