Eraserhead DVD

cowboykurtis · March 09, 2003, 04:03:40 PM

Has anyone seen the Eraserhead DVD that is being sold on DavidLynch.com? Is the transfer any good? I'm assuming he is the owner of the neg. and did the transfer supervising himself. However I have some reservations on ordering it. If anyone has the scoop, I'd love to hear about the disc.

DVDFile reviewed the disc:

Everything about this transfer is excellent. There is absolutely no dirt or detectable age-related artifacts apparent, which will likely prove to be a revelation to the film's enormous cult. Blacks are perfect and contrast terrific. This film has for so long suffered at the hands of poor video transfers that the amount of detail here is at first hard to believe. Shadow delineation is excellent, with fine textures noticeable and many shots delivering a true three-dimensional quality. There is no apparent edge enhancement nor compression artifacts detectable. Truly stunning.

The amazing extras on this Eraserhead DVD come in the form of one complete documentary that runs nearly 90 minutes. In it are new interviews with most of those involved with the film, including stories and footage of the film's inception, development, production and distribution, and a whole bunch of heretofore-unseen photos and extra goodies. Seriously amazing, and likely to prove the case that having the filmmaker involved is essential to creating a great documentary.

But why does the dvdfile review say Region 1? Is that a different DVD?

Hate me, because an odd-looking black cardboard box from California appeared in my doorway this morning.

Just getting into Lynch and I'd definitely buy this Triple Bill package. Few questions:

Is this the barebones version of mulholland or does it contain all the bonus stuff?

Aside from that my biggest question is where can I get my hands on it? Virgin.com makes no mention of it. Nor does Amazon.com.

Oh, and the dumb question, what region do i need? I know, i'm a retart, but i'm a loveable retart who needs understanding and kindness, not ridicule. Thanks
