Blue Velvet (1986) David Lynch | Movement Nu 34 ? Sound Colour ...

Blue Velvet is a Lynch film that plays with noir and surrealism, both genres Lynch commonly manipulates and makes his own. It stars Kyle Maclachlan, Dennis Hopper, Isabella Rossellini and Laura Dern. The title is taken from the fabulous 1963 Bobby Vinton song, ?Blue Velvet? which is played throughout the movie.

Lynch was nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards for Blue Velvet (his second nomination).? It was turned down by many big? studio companies for its strong sexual and violent content. It is considered one of the most controversial films ever made and it?s fantastic.

Blue Velvet was ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time by Entertainment Weekly in 1999 and chosen by the American Film Institute as one of the greatest mystery films made.

Jeffrey Beaumont (played by Kyle Maclachlan) returns from college to aid his ill father. He comes across a human ear? in a field within his hometown.

Intrigued by the disturbing severed ear, Jeffrey continues to investigate its story with help of his friend later lover Sandy Williams (played by Laura Dern).

As the investigation grows, it draws both deeper into the sadistic underworld that dwells within their hometown. The investigation leads Jeffrey into a kinky sexual relationship with a singer Dorothy Vallens (played by Isabella Rossellini) and into a terrible violent relationship with a sexually violent, kidnapping psycho criminal Frank Booth (played by Dennis Hopper).

Frank is into all the weird shit.? Inhaling gases, dry humping with pain, sadomasochism and playing with weapons.? He is a sociopath who achieves orgasms at the cost of rage and pain inflicted on others.

Frank kidnapped Dorothy?s husband and son to force her to perform sexual favors. Dorothy becomes dependent on the violence to get off. As the story progresses, love and lust are confused as well as pain, power and pleasure.

Guilt and despair are underlining emotions in Blue Velvet. Guilt of human pleasures and despair of the human condition.

This film, without a doubt, is one of the best works I have seen in my life.The play-ins with Roy Orbison songs (In Dreams) over violence and psychotic outbreaks is remarkable. Lynch yet again reproduces the effect that even the most ?normal? things in life have a terribly dark history attached to them. Even the most perfect small towns in the world with the most perfect families have something ?that always dwells underneath.
