I wonder if it stands the passing of time, but it completely blew my mind when I saw it when it came out...on the big screen. What a let down The Elephant Man was in comparison. Eraserhead is a singular work of genius. Years later, (I was studying at the AFI on their NEW campus on Los Feliz Blvd), I did a pilgrimage to the Doheny Mansion, where the AFI started, and visited the greenhouses and paid hommage to the places being the location for some of the Eraserhead scenes.
