Eraserhead

In the organizer's words:

Best Of David Lynch in cooperation with the cinema of the DFF (Deutsches Filminstitut Filmmuseum)

Screening in the original English version with German subtitles.

In Memoriam David Lynch: In memory of David Lynch, who died on January 15, 2025, the DFF Cinema is showing the complete works of the US cult director in cooperation with the arthouse cinemas.

David Lynch already made a name for himself as a true multi-talent with his film debut: he not only acted as producer and director, but also contributed the screenplay and sound effects. Eraserhead, with its extraordinary black and white photography by Frederick Elmes and Herbert Cardwell, Alan Splet's moving sound design and the performance of Jack Nance, is being re-released in 4K. 40 years on, David Lynch's feature film debut is still one of the most remarkable surrealist film adaptations of our time. One of the reasons Eraserhead gained popularity was that star directors such as Stanley Kubrick and John Waters named it one of their favorite films. In 2010, it landed in second place on the Online Film Critics Society's list of the 100 Best First Feature Films of All Time, just behind Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. Eraserhead has been a recurring guest at international film festivals for years. (Source: Distributor)
