Eraserhead

“Lynch films are scary in a way that modern horror films seldom are. He talks directly to my inner child, to the nightmares of my seven-year-old self. I remember watching this whenever it was on in London—Eraserhead and Blue Velvet.”

Ben Wheatley

Director, Writer

“Filmmaking is an act of faith and I think it's beautiful to imagine someone like Lynch before he was the brand 'David Lynch' putting it all on the line to make something as insane as his first feature film.”

Jane Schoenbrun

Director, Writer

“This was my first experience of David Lynch and I was probably way too young to see it freaked me out I couldn't quite wrap my head around what was going on but to me it was one of the gateways into this whole world of art house film.”
