The black-and-white Eraserhead, from 1977, was Lynch’s first feature film. It already featured such signature characteristics of the oeuvre as surrealistic visions, a strong visuality, a dark tone, and a peculiar humour. Henry, the hard-up hero lives in a strained relationship with a hysterical girl, Mary. When he learns she is pregnant, he agrees to marry her, and she moves in with him. Soon their child is born, a repulsive, reptilian mutant whose crying is ear-splitting.
Introduction by filmhistorian and director Péter Lichter.
David Lynch is one of the most original contemporary film directors. His untameable imagination, special outlook, and distinctive humour have amalgamated into an unmistakable style. Apropos of the Budapest Photo Festival’s exhibition, David Lynch: Small Stories, the Budapest Spring Festival salutes the director’s unique cinematic universe with a series of screenings that presents four of his films, some of them rarely shown, the others recently digitally remastered.
