In this five-film retrospective on select Saturdays in November and December, NOMA invites audiences to look back at David Lynch’s on-screen creations and consider his early artistic influences. (All films are free to members; standard museum admission applies to non-members.)

ABOUT ERASERHEAD

Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child in David Lynch’s big-screen writing and directing debut. The film, starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, defies conventional logic and storytelling, fueled by its dark nightmarish atmosphere and compellingly disturbing visuals.
