A surreal and darkly humorous vision, David Lynch's Eraserhead
(1977) has been recognised as a cult classic since its breakout
success as a midnight movie in the late 1970s. Claire Henry's study
of the film takes us into its netherworld, providing a detailed
account of its production history, its exhibition and reception,
and its elusive meanings. Using original archival research, she
traces how Lynch took his nightmare of Philadelphia to the City of
Dreams, infusing his LA-shot film with the industrial cityscapes
and sounds of the Callowhill district. Henry then engages with
Eraserhead's irresistible inscrutability and advances a fresh
interpretation, reframing auteurism to centre Lynch's creative
processes as a visual artist and Transcendental Meditation
practitioner. Finally, she outlines how Lynch's 'dream of dark and
troubling things' became a model midnight movie and later grew in
reputation and influence across broader film culture. From the
opening chapter on Eraserhead's famous 'baby' to the final chapter
on the film's tentacular influence, Henry's compelling and
authoritative account offers illuminating new perspectives on the
making and meaning of the film and its legacy. Through an in-depth
analysis of the film's rich mise en scene, cinematography, sound
and its embeddedness in visual art and screen culture, Henry not
only affirms the film's significance as Lynch's first feature, but
also advances a wider case for appreciating its status as a film
classic.
