Rated NR
1hr 29min
We lost a titan when director David Lynch passed away this year at the age of 78.
As we celebrate his life, come see Eraserhead, the film that first introduced Lynch to the world.**
Arrive early for an exclusive pre-recorded interview with Eraserhead star Charlotte Stewart, and stick around to participate in a talkback about Lynch's legacy, facilitated by St. John's tutor David Carl.
Henry (John Nance) resides alone in a bleak apartment surrounded by industrial gloom. When he discovers that an earlier fling with Mary X (Charlotte Stewart) left her pregnant, he marries the expectant mother and has her move in with him. Things take a decidedly strange turn when the couple's baby turns out to be a bizarre lizard-like creature that won't stop wailing. Other characters, including a disfigured lady who lives inside a radiator, inhabit the building and add to Henry's troubles.
"David Lynch, the 33-year-old writer/producer/director of this artful, puzzling monstrosity, has totally bypassed the time-honoured techniques and almost comforting clichés of scaring people in darkened theaters."
Bruce Blackadar
Toronto Star
"Visually it resembles German impressionist cinema, but it operates with leaps of bitter imagination and satire that make it intellectually, as well as emotionally, hypnotic."
Dave Chenoweth
Montreal Gazette
**Belching baby alien not included
Closed caption and hearing devices are available upon request.
