Movie Reviews of Eraserhead / Short Films of David Lynch - Limited Edition 2 Disc Gift box

Movie Review: even after all the single stars
Summary: 5 Stars

The idea that all of you "single star" raters, if thats what you can be called, are saying that this film has no artistic value or redeeming qualities is flatout ridiculous. You're all missing the point. Wether you saw the film earlier today, or twenty years ago (as I've noted most of you have) you all seem to have something to say about it. What you don't realize is That that is the point, wether art makes you happy or upsets you, it's done it's job. The task real film artists set for themselves is AFFECTING people, good or bad, it doesn't matter. As long as the film makes you think or feel something then the film-maker has succeeded. It would be more upsetting if you saw it and had felt nothing and said nothing. Personally, I think that the fact that the film has made so many of you uncomfortable rather than leave you with the feeling of complacency that most modern films do would give Mr. Lynch an extreme sense of satisfaction. The effect of art is not the point, as long as it just HAS one, it remains art. I recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys stepping out of their element for ninety minutes or so, don't be afraid ! you're only in your living room ! for the rest of you, click the back button on your browser, I'm pretty sure I saw beautician and the beast on sale, that should leave you smiling and stupid.

Summary of Eraserhead / Short Films of David Lynch - Limited Edition 2 Disc Gift box

ERASERHEAD - Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child.
SHORT FILMS - Collection of highly sourght-after David Lynch shorts, including his first works.

Packaged in a Premium 8x8 Collectors Box with a 20 page Color Booklet.
This is where is the Lynchian nightmare began. Though he may have redefined surrealistic cinema in the 1980s and forever altered the face of television in the 90s, for many hardcore fans it is this infamous feature film debut that is David Lynch's crowning achievement. Many words have been used to describe Eraserhead (weird, bizarre, frustrating, enlightening, significant, unwatchable, meaningless, and momentous), but there is no denying it is completely unforgettable. As a surreal work of art, Eraserhead easily holds it own next to the works as Bu?uel, Cocteau, and Dali. And like many surrealistic works, there is no clear answer on what Eraserhead "means." But, if you are trying to find a simple, linear, plot in Eraserhead, you are clearly missing the point. For Eraserhead is not simply a movie to view, but a true cinematic experience, like jumping into someone's nightmare and seeing it from their perspective. Whether you see it as a meditation on the terror of being a new parent, the suffocating feeling of living in an increasingly vapid, industrial wasteland, or a nightmare about the fear of loneliness, the film easily holds up to multiple viewings. And since this film is a dark visual ride and a supreme aural achievement, this long awaited, new transfer is an absolute blessing for David Lynch fans who will finally get to see, hear and experience Eraserhead clearly on DVD. Bizarre experiment? Surrealistic nightmare? Or a meaningless cult film? You be the judge. --Rob Bracco
