Eraserhead
David Lynch, USA, 1977, 89 min
‘Eraserhead is my most spiritual movie. No one understands when I say that, but it is.’ He went on to write about the difficulties he was having making sense of the way the film was « growing » and didn’t know ‘the thing that just pulled it all together.’ He then reveals it was the Bible that provided the solution:
‘So I got out my Bible and I started reading. And one day, I read a sentence. And I closed the Bible, because that was it; that was it. And then I saw the thing as a whole. And it fulfilled this vision for me, 100 percent.’ – WIKI
