[David Lynch - Eraserhead: The burtsing out from coercion - an art psychological approach].

Abstract

David Lynch with his work 'Eraserhead' dove deep into the existential regions of the human psyche and brought back the product which he states to be 'his most spiritual film'. Three main factors (the psychobiography, the theories of psychoanalysis and the works of Lipot Szondi) helped me establish the theoretical fundament for the exploration of the trauma-induced state of coercion through the symbolism of the film. The established interrelations will give us a new perspective on Lynch's works and biography, and may give us a chance to take a closer look at the dynamics of the state coercion.
