Eraserhead Stories Synopsis

Accompanying the DVD/Blu-ray release of David Lynch's debut feature film, Eraserhead (1977), a genuine masterpiece of American independent filmmaking, "Eraserhead Stories" is a semi-documentary put together by Lynch himself. In a typical Lynchian way, the director gives away fascinating, little-known details on the film's five-year-long production, going as far as to call Catherine E. Coulson, the assistant director, cryptic "Log Lady" of the cult TV series, Twin Peaks (1990), and former wife of the movie's protagonist, Jack Nance, on the phone to reminisce about the old days. Of course, the making of the "baby" remains a mystery. —Nick Riganas
