MiDNiTES FOR MANiACS, Spoke Art & the Roxie present David Lynch’s surrealist debut in glorious black & white 35mm. Hosted by Jesse Hawthorne Ficks.

David Lynch once described his stunning debut feature simply as “a dream of dark and troubling things,” but the unclassifiable ERASERHEAD is so much more: an expressionistic headtrip, a Grand Guignol nightmare, a pitch-black comedy of manners, and even a deeply personal allegory about the (post-) nuclear family.
