Software Exception C0000005 In Tally 9

December 6, 2007: Eraserhead (David Lynch) 12/01/2007

And 'one of my favorite directors. I learned about after I passionate series of Twin Peaks, which are among the landscapes of Montana, the rooms with the halogen and the tables of the diner, it was an area, the presence of malignant spirits of the woods. To see David Lynch have to accept the intrusion of strange things in your reality, things that keep you suspended between a world that can understand and share and a leading the invisible is made of dreams, summoning, rumors and sudden lights, amid a riot of red and purple. The curtain, the door curtain and metaphors are very common in his films: the protagonists of his films often have to solve mysteries and in the end of the film remains the doubt, because you could see the two dimensions, but you did not understand what the is communicating, what is in the middle of what is truly made the curtain that divides them. As in Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and certainly, above a bit 'in experimentation, in his latest film, Inland Empire. Few artists manage to keep my opinion for so long shrouded in mystery. His first feature, Eraserhead, is perhaps less difficult to explain, but has a prophetic content. I went to see him with Lina, Cynthia, Anna and Maria Rosaria, but I had the right to prevent: it is also the director of the festival before the movie starts, inviting us to hold on to your stomach. Eraserhead when it was released in 1975, it was forbidden to pregnant women and the reason is clear: it is the story of an industrial world, gray as black and white film, in which the sun never shines and everyone will live as men unnecessary supplemented with pieces of iron (such as the father of the protagonist). We drag them from abandoned factories to homes bleak and empty, which nest hysteria and degradation. Our desires will be used to suffocate because someone will act for us (a man drives the levers that simulate the moment of our procreation), everything we do to perpetuate and therefore doomed to failure. The body decomposes, triumphs, horrifying, physical death. So better not to look ahead, better to live like those fleeting love of neighbor. The son of the protagonist, a monstrous worm kept in swaddling clothes and without limbs, inspires disgust but also pity, with her perpetual lament. The man, says Lynch, is destroyed by itself, has invented a world in which to realize their material goals and submissive to his will even nature. Can you ever recover? The only happy image of the film is that of a dog which suckle their young, while the protagonist tries ideally to escape his dreadful condition in a dream world: there is no light, a stage with chairs and curtains (remember the dreams of the inspector Cooper?), a deformed girl singing smiling a paradise to come. Leaving the cinema, we discussed a lot, but narrow in the "Suzuka" by Maria Rosaria and direct the croissants, we also have rice. And while the streets were talking about symbols of Lynch, the cold December night we called home.
