Review of Blue Velvet (1986) by Jay R — 13 Oct 2010
It is clear that David Lynch is one disturbed individual. Lucky for us, he has turned his madness into another solid film. Lynch is quickly becoming a very interesting director to watch for me because he seems to pick at your brain as you try to decipher his surreal images and demented characters. Isaballa Rosselini and Dennis Hopper electrify as their strikingly depraved and screwed up souls clash on the screen with the rest of the very talented cast. The characters are all void or missing something in their lives and they use each other as an attempt to put themselves back together. Only problem is the excitement factor leaves when it should not. In many instances there are slow points and your interest will waiver at many points. Dealing with issues of abuse and sexual confusion, it is the characters and ambience that really shine in this movie. Once again, Lynch's vivid images and interaction of characters will keep you watching, and frustrate you until you go mad from questions left and right. Blue Velvet is another solid Lynch film that intertwines touchy issues and weaves harrowing and surreal sequences of people trying to reach out and connect with something.
SEE IT.
