![]() ![]() ![]() But like many of Lynch’s better films, this one can’t be superficially described in terms of its plot. One of the seminal Midnight Movies, the film that launched David Lynch’s career and gave thousands of horror-happy movie kids nightmares for years, “Eraserhead” remains one of the director’s purest, most playful and vital works. Here’s our assessment of those films: administer intravenously. Somehow, Lynch’s output seems to continually expand in meaning and character, despite the fact that it remains stubbornly enumerated, since 2006, at an uncharacteristically round, decimal ten titles. Having made so relatively few features across the four decades of his career, Lynch has more or less guaranteed that the only option for the hooked is to go back and revisit them time and again: thankfully, his is one of the rare catalogues that rewards that practice. Perhaps that’s the cleverest way that Lynch has made junkies of us all: by throttling down the supply of his “product.” Because they’re not just mind-addling psychotropic substances, his movies are highly addictive, in that once you’ve found your gateway title (for many it was “Twin Peaks” though for the more cinematically inclined it was often “ Blue Velvet”) you find yourself quickly jonesing for more.
