Review of Blue Velvet (1986) by Zach M — 11 Aug 2012
Absolutely flawless direction by Lynch. MacLachlan represents the fleeting innocence of an America-gone-by as his character is drawn into a seedy underworld by a well-natured, but naive curiosity. A fairly straightforward mystery plot is thickened by the unforgettable characters he encounters.
Hopper's turn as the psychopath Frank is disturbing in all its sick glory and Rossellini's performance screams of twisted desperation. Topped off with a great soundtrack and sharp visuals, it's hypnotic.
