mucinex 4,260 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/65074/eraserhead-criterion-collection/ Eraserhead (Blu-ray) Criterion // Unrated // September 16, 2014 // Region A List Price: $39.95 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00L3ZB7JO/dvdtalk It's surprising that Eraserhead is the first film by David Lynch to be entered into The Criterion Collection. A director of precise vision and distinct style, who has been behind the camera for a number of modern classics, including Blue Velvet, The Straight Story and Mulholland Drive, he seems like the perfect fit for this group of "important classic and contemporary films," but either way, he's finally in, and it has come with a film that represents all that Lynch is as a filmmaker and artist, a distillation of his creativity and peculiar imagination. If you strip away all the oddness, Eraserhead offers up a very simple story about a man named Henry (Jack Nance) who finds himself unprepared when fatherhood surprisingly comes calling, causing confusion and dismay. This being a Lynch film though, that story is refracted through a dark prism, and that child is an inhuman monster, his confusion manifests itself in disturbing visuals like a disfigured woman performing in his radiator and no one, other than Henry, acts in a way that could be considered close to normal. Throw in a mysterious figure pulling levers and looking out a window in despair, and Henry's simple story becomes anything but. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twrMIinPzTc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK-2_OsBe0s +It has lots of special features and is really high quality -It's quite expensive but that's okay given that it's a collectors edition!

SKANK 14,288 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 They didn't really change the cover to much did they? That is why I buy Criterion Collection films, the bold graphic design. But I guess why mess with something that is already great? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
