I could try to tell you what Eraserhead is about but why bother. That's for you to decide. It's different things to different people. To me, it's a sick, twisted, nightmarish love story. Let's get beyond what one person thinks because it doesn't matter. You will see something that no one has seen before when you watch. Technically speaking Eraserhead is a great piece of film making. The use of light and shadow throughout the film kept reminding me of Citizen Kane. Yes, I'm comparing Eraserhead to Citizen Kane and there is no stretch to doing that. Both films are achievements in cinematography, especially since Eraserhead was shot in an old horse stable.
The main thing about Eraserhead is that it forces you to decide what it's about. That's what is great about Lynch films: they make you have to think.
