David Lynch’s remarkable first film, made in 1976, still looks like a minor masterpiece, mixing Gothic horror, surrealism and darkly expressionist mise-en-scène.
Jack Nance’s electro-shock hairdo Henry, whose girl produces the aforementioned baby, now seems funnier in his perpetual puzzlement than he did. But the film retains its essential menace, like a dream you can’t leave even if you want to.
