Crappy 4:3 version on the DVD. - Eraserhead review by CP Customer
Far more of a grotesque abomination than any of the imagery in this film is the fact the the DVD is in 4:3 not the original 1.85:1. Call me film snob if you want, but I want the rest of my image, almost as if Lynch might have carefully composed his images.
I tried the Bluray version at first, but when that didn't work on either of my Bluray players, I sent it back and got this instead, not realising it was 4:3. Boo.

Eraserhead - Eraserhead review by VG
A mesmerising, surreal and disturbing melange of nightmares familial, mental, bodily and industrial.

Best debut film of any director - Eraserhead review by LE
Really unsettling. Like all of David Lynch's work, this feels like being trapped in a nightmare. He's up there with Fellini and Tarkovsky in his ability to convey a dreamlike world. My own theory is that a lot of his work is about the conflict between nature and industry. This film seems to be about how a person's environment - in this case, heavily industrial and devoid of nature - can seriously affect their subjective view of the world. Here it seems to lead to suicide. But a lot of it is still quite comic. A hard act to pull off! Like all his work, this rewards multiple viewings.
