eraserhead is easily lynch's best imo.
i love lynch's other work but something about eraserheads, performance, score, decore and craft is on another level.
its dead air feels more like an akward sense of dread and the performance, which, are brilliant help this dead air be even earier then it already is.
its themes are clear and displayed beautifully and terrifyingly. eraserhead is not just a film, its a piece of art that has and will always still stand the test of time.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hallucinatory descent into domestic nightmare rendered in stark black and white, where industrial decay and biological horror merge into an experience that feels less like a story than a fever dream you can't escape.
