Blue Velvet
1986
🎯 Verdict
✍️ Full Review
In David Lynch's strange but non-trippy world, depravity and perverse brutality could be witnessed in dim light with bright colors. The whole tone of Blue Velvet felt like it was a precursor to what had yet to come in the rural town of Twin Peaks. The same talks about light and darkness, black and white, food and beverages, a diner and of course trees and timber. Shrouded in mystery, filled with secrets, and in the midst of it all McLachlan, as per usual. A sick sadistic maniacal villain, obviously with a disability. Blue Velvet is certainly among in the approachable movies category of Lynch and a really good place for a beginner to dip their toes into the Lynchian universe instead of just cannonballing into his web of fugue surrealism.
