Eraserhead
In Memoriam: David LynchIn Memoriam David Lynch (January 20, 1946 – January 15, 2025)
David Lynch opened cinematic worlds where dream and nightmare intertwined. With radical visuals, unsettling sounds, and often elusive logic, he showed that cinema does not always need to explain, but above all should be felt. In this mini-series, we are screening Eraserhead, The Straight Story and Mulholland Drive during the month of January in honour of this extraordinary filmmaker.
In Eraserhead, we follow Henry, an innocent young man who unexpectedly becomes the father of a strange and grotesque child. As he struggles to care for the baby, the viewer is drawn into Henry’s oppressive, surreal world full of fear, alienation, and bizarre rituals. More information about this film will follow soon.
