Eraserhead (Original Soundtrack Plus)
《橡皮头》 (Eraser Head )是美国1976年摄制的恐怖、奇幻类电影。电影《橡皮头》作为美国导演大卫·林奇的第一部剧情长片出现在大银幕上,该影片的黑白色调以及压抑、阴暗的氛围也让不少观众大呼恐怖。剧情主要是围绕一个男孩亨利展开的:一夜之间成为一个畸形儿的父亲。新婚妻子因忍受不了婴儿的啼哭半夜出逃。这都让他不得不靠幻想着一位暖气片幻化出来的可爱女士来暂且逃离不堪的生活。以至于最后亨利亲手用剪刀谋杀了这个畸形的早产儿,从而获得解脱。影片的主要风格特点是片中摇晃的镜头和充满矛盾的情绪渲染,通过描述一名男子的对父亲的焦虑和恐惧,营照了一个黑暗,困惑令人毛骨悚然的梦境。 Eraserhead is a 1977 surrealist body horror film written and directed by American filmmaker David Lynch. Shot in black-and-white, Eraserhead is Lynch's first feature-length film, coming after several short works. The film was produced with the assistance of the American Film Institute (AFI) during the director's time studying there. Starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near, and Jack Fisk, it tells the story of Henry Spencer (Nance), who is left to care for his grossly deformed child in a desolate industrial landscape. Throughout the film, Spencer experiences dreams or hallucinations, featuring his child and the Lady in the Radiator (Near). Eraserhead spent several years in principal photography because of the difficulty of funding the film; donations from Fisk and his wife Sissy Spacek kept production afloat. The film was shot on several locations owned by the AFI in California, including Greystone Mansion and a set of disused stables in which Lynch lived. Lynch and sound designer Alan Splet spent a year working on the film's audio after their studio was soundproofed. Eraserhead's soundtrack features organ music by Fats Waller and includes the song "In Heaven", penned for the film by Peter Ivers. Initially opening to small audiences and little interest, Eraserhead gained popularity over several long runs as a midnight movie. Since its release, the film has earned positive reviews. The surrealist imagery and sexual undercurrents have been seen as key thematic elements, and the intricate sound design as its technical highlight. Thematic analysis of the film has also highlighted these issues and has elaborated on Spencer's fatalism and inactivity. In 2004, the film was preserved in the National Film Registry, maintained by the United States Library of Congress.
