Eraserhead
Have you ever seen a movie or a TV show where they have the "serious film student" character who dressed in black and makes "art" movies that are all weird, disconnected shots in black and white that rely on symbolism? That's this movie, but without the punchline that those shows provide. It mistakes symbolism for substance, murkiness for meaning, and preposterousness for profundity. It's a liberal arts degree from a for-profit college and a 14 year old's poetry coalesced onto celluloid. This is a movie custom-made for twee hipsters and contrarian douchebags to pretend they like, so they can look down on everybody else who "doesn't get it", but the truth is, they don't get it either. Because there's nothing to get here. This is a terrible insult that can go drown in a river. It has no respect for your time, and I no respect for it.
