David Lynch's Eraserhead (1977)

       

Eraserhead is a 1977 American surrealist film^[2][3][4] written, directed, and produced by David Lynch. In 1971, Lynch moved to Los Angeles to attend the AFI Conservatory. At the Conservatory, Lynch began working on his first feature-length film, Eraserhead, using a $10,000 grant from the AFI. The grant was not sufficient to complete the film and, as a result, Lynch worked on Eraserhead intermittently until its release in 1977. Lynch used money from friends and family, including boyhood friend Jack Fisk, a production designer and the husband of actress Sissy Spacek, and from odd jobs to finish the film.

Eraserhead polarized and baffled many critics and movie-goers, but has become a cult classic.^[5] In 2004, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Lynch has called it a "dream of dark and troubling things"^[6] and his "most spiritual movie."
