Needless to say, he is a very peculiar fellow. He is the director of only a few films, but he has made quite an impact considering his most unusual style. Lynch set himself apart with his very first feature film, Eraserhead. Filmed in grainy black-and-white, the film is basically one long nightmare. It is the story of one man in a nameless city, and it could be set in the past, present, or future. The man gets married, and he and his wife have a deformed little monster.
