Blue Velvet

En två timmars lång metaforfylld, drömlik tripp. ”Blue Velvet” är en äkta amerikansk klassiker vare sig man älskar eller hatar den. 

Twenty-five subsequent years of Lynch have made his methods more familiar, such that these days, what’s most surprising about Blue Velvet is that it tells a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

In a film of extreme characters and daring performances, no-one is wilder than Frank, no characterisation more "out there" than that delivered by Dennis Hopper.

...his macabre, intensely 80s drama coolly retains a sense of the toxic fear hiding in plain sight of picket-fence America.

It's a testament to their acting that their scenes have lost little shock value over 15 years.
