In Heaven (Eraserhead; David Lynch; 1977)

I


I first watched David Lynch's surreal film Eraser Head as a teenager. Its an odd, very dark film set in a nightmarish and overly industrial landscape ( comically so )  The films general subject is about becoming a father, and the terrible re-balancing a man suddenly has to do in how he views and relates to others around him. Well thats my take on the film today. You see after becoming a father, I now see a whole new film before me, twice as weird, and twice as disturbing and twice as revealing. Its funny how your perception of a film can change over time...
