Eraserhead finally got a 4K and it came out of Germany from Arthaus, StudioCanal's classics label. The consensus from owners is that this is the closest thing to a reference Eraserhead you can get at home, with cleaner near-black handling than the Criterion Blu-ray. There's one quirk at the 31-minute mark, a dark spot on Henry's wall that turns out to be in the 4K DCP itself, not a disc error. Collectors still expect Criterion to follow with a domestic 4K, and the import-vs-wait debate is active, but the Arthaus disc is the one you actually play.
