On our newest episode, the Rad Revival House explores quite possibly the most BIZARRE film we’ve ever reviewed: 1977’s surrealistic nightmare, ERASERHEAD!
George Davison, a longtime friend of the RRH (and composer to our theme song!), returns as Special Guest Lecturer to lend a much-needed helping hand in analyzing this bonkers picture. Making his celebrated debut in ERASERHEAD, iconic filmmaker David Lynch (RIP) thrusts his stunningly-nihilistic tale about an introverted young man Henry, the titular Eraserhead (played with disturbing power by the late, great character Jack Nance) and his slow descent into madness. Did he, or did he not impregnate his girlfriend and conceive a snake-like creature as their baby? Just what are those visions Henry is having about sperm-like monsters, or strange women with unusual deformities?
JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS PICTURE?!
Join George and Professor Cesare as they try to make sense in this utterly senseless film that somehow, Lynch had managed to make something incredibly striking and almost beautiful in its execution. But “beauty” may ultimately depend on who you ask. Opinions may vary, but nobody can deny the crazy visuals of ERASERHEAD!
