Description
David Lynch's Eraserhead (1977) has been a cult favourite since its release as a midnight movie in the late 1970s. Claire Henry's study of the film offers a detailed account of its production history, exhibition, and reception, as well as its elusive meanings. Through original archival research, Henry explores how Lynch transformed his vision into a unique film, infusing it with the industrial cityscapes and sounds of the Callowhill district. Henry's analysis of the film's mise en scène, cinematography, sound, and its embeddedness in visual art and screen culture provides a fresh perspective on the making and meaning of Eraserhead. This book offers a compelling and authoritative account of the film's significance, tracing its influence from its initial release to its current reputation as a midnight movie.
