Eraserhead

(Usa 1977, 89’, DCP, b/w, o.v. it. s/t)

Henry Spencer is a printer who lives in a squalid society. One day, on returning home, his neighbour informs him his fiancée, Mary, called to invite him to dinner at her place. On arriving at the girl’s house, Henry meets her bizarre parents… Written and directed, with music and editing personally by Lynch, this film immediately became a cult item for millions of spectators.
