Deep in madness.
Eraserhead is a surreal rollercoaster ride in the depths of the psyche. The great artist and visionary David Lynch creates a film that has truly started a strange career in the world of surrealism.

The film focuses on the life of Henry, who works in a printing house and lives in a dingy hotel. One day he is having dinner with his girlfriend and finds out that she was in silence and gave birth to a mutant fetus.
Henry's room is changing all the time, not only is it a very scary looking fetus, but also black earth and twigs appear from everywhere. Henry marries and lives with his wife and child in his small room, but the wife leaves and Henry is left alone.
The film is a story of being lost, it is an extraordinary journey into the deepest fears while creating new ones. The film is full of allusions and unusual surreal scenes worth thinking about for a moment.
The film, shot in 1977, is still relevant in a way. more than once we try to escape from the hustle and bustle by creating a scene where we can feel better for a moment.
The film is also a tribute to surreal cinema, where for ordinary people it will be just a cluster of strange scenes, but for fans of surrealism it will be an extremely work that shows the desire to escape from all the hustle and bustle.
From bigger and smaller problems and a rehearsal with a child. In a strange way, it is a beautiful creation that is watched with interest. Combine inconspicuously incoherent scenes together, creating tracks on which the protagonist goes on a psychic path into his mind.
A beautiful and sad film at the same time. Surrealism is a genre that lives its own life and it's hard to find a pinch of surrealism in new cinema films.
The film is strong, sometimes somewhere on the verge of good taste, but this is what the viewer should be like to start having conversations of thoughts. These are movies full of scenes that mean something. Here we are similar, each scene has its own symbolism, although it is worth finding them yourself.
The film is not bad, on the contrary, it is coherent and consistent in how it shows us the protagonist from a man who started his vacation to a man with more and more problems, raising a child alone in a cold, earth-filled room.
David Lynch is considered by many to be the father of modern surrealism, but it makes sense in a similar, quite strange, although the famous Twin Peaks was created with a very limited style. I rate the film at 9/10 because if you like surrealism, you will like this film

A very appropriate contribution to the valuation of contemporary cinema in that key aspect that has been the surrealist look, in truth, little cultivated lately. Revaluing David Lynch's contribution is something very valuable, as you do in your post, since this director is and will continue to be one of the most daring directors of American cinema in the last decades. Of course, the inauguration of surrealism in cinema is due to the great Luis Buñuel.
