Plot Summary:
|
A deeply sickening and insidiously funny film, David Lynch's queer vision uncovers the dirty underside of Lilliputian-town America. When a green guy finds a benign sensitivity in a field, he embarks on an discovery procedure into the deep coterie of a treacherous psychopath, which leads him to a unequalled nightclub singer. Truly an auteur film, if there is such a thing, BLUE VELVET is a bizarre, disquieting work that stands as everybody of the to the fullest extent films of the 1980s.

A Classic
Still quite enthralling after all these years, "Blue Velvet" is a bold statement of alternative American cinema with nods to the avant garde and his future work "Twin Peaks".
The film started with the idea of a man finding a severed ear in the grass on his way home.
Dennis Hopper plays one of the best cinema bad guys ever and the deranged world that Kyle Maclachlan gets pulled into is a hellish place ruled by drugs, violence and darkness. Luckily he has Laura Dern and Isabella Rossellini to keep him company.
It has its surreal moments but is still conventionally routed, contrasting the seemingly idyllic surface appearance of small town American Life with its dark underworld.
Essential viewing.
Once was enough
Just seen this movie the once and that was enough for me. That's not a negative thing. This film is the equivalent of a sledgehammer to the side of the head. It's powerful, disturbing and stays with you for a long time afterwards.It took me to places I'd never been and would never wish to visit again.
I loved it and hated it at the same time. A landmark movie.
