What makes Eraserhead great -- and still, perhaps the best of all Lynch's films? Intensity. Nightmare clarity. And perhaps also it's the single-mindedness of its vision.

A murkily pretentious shocker.

The mind boggles to learn that Lynch labored on this pic for five years.

Some of it is disturbing, some of it is embarrassingly flat, but all of it shows a degree of technical accomplishment far beyond anything else on the midnight-show circuit.

Lynch, as he does with all his films, refuses to explain anything, although he does say that he has yet to read an interpretation that matches his.
