    David Lynch's debut, dead cult movie, so fucking crazy, a bunch of crazy. David Lync-esque obscurity (only Inland Empire has surpassed this one in his later work), the stunts are gross and disgustingly eerie symbols, the nerve-wracking propulsion and uninteresting narrative. And his brilliance in scenes and imagery was reflected from the very...

    89/100, an unusually vigorous and stylized debut novel, full of cult meaning, the tone looks a bit expressionistic, and all the signs of surrealism are actually amplifying the horrors in life, and the noise-like sound effects are even more It strengthens the creation of this sense of horror, and finally makes it look so treacherous and depressing, too...

    #North Film FestivalRewatch# A slow-paced, experimental black-and-white film that blends real people and parts of stop-motion. The characters in it live in a surreal world with its own rules. Throughout the film, Lynch makes extensive use of one of his most disturbing cinematic hallmarks: the humming nightmarish ambient noise. At 06:29, the psychological space and the real space are seamlessly connected. At 15:51, Tongjang made a transition. 22:41, the absurdity of the space environment, the...

    Looking back at Lynch's debut work [Eraser Head], we are surprised to find that all his later imagery and creative concepts were established early, and his current works are almost all variations of this pioneering work. There are innumerable connections between him and Kafka, but Kafka's text is both obvious allegory and metaphysical mystery, so it is difficult to decipher; while Lynch puts Kafka in psychology Dig deep, until you enter the terrifying subconscious level. Men's fears of...

    The deformed heads of monsters and women are like male and female genitals, symbolizing the ugly, dirty, and catastrophic side of sexuality. The machine in the small workshop produces and processes Henry's head into a rubber head, just like David Lynch The anatomy of this nightmare is eerie, unique, and eerie. Lynch's first novel has already established his grotesque style that is not easily accepted by ordinary...

    Terrible summer night

    The most surprising thing about David Lynch is that he has discovered how to make people feel terrible. In "Rubber Head", he created a nightmare time and space parallel to the real world. The time and space of this nightmare is ring by ring. After you enter it, you can only travel within the range...
