David Lynch’s debut feature is both a lasting cult sensation and a work of extraordinary craft and beauty. One of the seminal works of American independent cinema, with mesmerizing black-and-white cinematography, Eraserhead was filmed over several years on practically no budget. It also marked the beginning of the collaboration between Lynch and regular actor Jack Nance.

Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) lives in a hopeless industrial landscape. After his girlfriend, Mary, informs him of her pregnancy, he is forced to eat dinner with her extremely odd family. The baby is eventually born, only it isn’t a human baby at all; it’s a deformed creature that resembles a lizard.

Filmography: Inland Empire  (2006), Mulholland Drive (2001), Wild at Heart (1990), Blue Velvet (1986), Dune (1984), The Elephant Man (1980).
