Disturbing and weird David Lynch movie with grotesque and outlandish events , as well as a dark nightmarish atmosphere. This flamboyantly original flick results to be an infamous cult classic about a numb-brained everyman wandering through what amounts to an ironic , sick parody of the modern urban urban landscape , innocently impregnating his girlfriend and fathering a pestilent embryonic mutant . Be warned. The nightmare has not gone away...In Heaven Everything Is Fine. Warning: the nightmare has not gone away. Where your nightmares end...A dream of dark and troubling things.
David Lynch's first feature-length movie stars Jack Nance , who later achieved fame in Twin Peaks as Pete the Logger . The picture has an inner , completely dark plot with disconcerting and strange happenings . Unsettling , unique exploration of the dark side of a hapless factory worker with compellingly disturbing visuals. Stars Henry Spencer/Jack Nance , he's a labourer on his vacation when he finds out he's the father of a hideously deformed baby. The flick lurches uncertainly between horror and film bizarre , involving a factory worker who's thrust into a turmoil of fantastic events , as he attempts to survive, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child. Depicting a highly individual look at the offbeat elements just behind the facade of a ruined and rusted industrial environment. It features vibrantly sinister photography , the use of dreams and montage to connect character thought and multiple emotions into one sequence . A groundbreaking movie made by an innovative filmmaker , and even if the picture isn't necessarily realistic, it's real in its representation of what life is : a rare , confusing, irrational series of happenings that have little purpose, and one makes one's own interpretation of each event , giving life one's own purpose . Mood is enhanced by the off-the-wall , strange musical score. Special mention for the brilliant black and white cinematography by cameraman Frederick Elmes.
The motion picture was originally and inmaculately directed by David Lynch , including his ordinary trademarks and it was one of the most critically praised films of 1977 . Graced by splashes of Lynchian hilarious touches and a special atmosphere . In 1977, Lynch released this his first film Eraserhead (1977), which, although not critically acclaimed, was noticed by many people, including Francis Ford Coppola, who was rumored to have screenings of it for his cast and crew on the Apocalypse Now (1979) set. After a stream of visually striking films such as Blue Velvet (1986), Lost highway (1997) and Mulholland Drive (2001). Thanks to these films and others, beginning with Blue Velvet (1986), and including his Twin Peaks (1990) TV , Lynch has gained the reputation of one of the foremost auteurs in the film industry, and one of the few living auteurs who continually defies cinematic convention. His films continually represent his ideal that films, representing life, should be complex, and in some cases, inexplicable . Due to his decisive innovation and the enjoyable confusion of his films, he will always be recognized as if not one of the greatest film-makers, one of the most original. Rating : 6.5/10 . Decent , terminally strange and offbeat picture , though overrated , being too rare to be easily enjoyed . The flick will appeal to David Lynch enthusiasts.
