BLUE VELVET is perhaps one of David Lynch's best-remembered movies for that, and the reason for that is Dennis Hopper's undeniably electrifying turn as Frank, the villain of the piece. A crazed rapist and altogether nutcase, Hopper is clearly having a ball with the role and becomes one of the best villains of the era alongside the likes of Clarence Boddiker and Hannibal Lector. As for the rest of the film, it's a typical Lynch outing; better than a lot I've watched, but still a bit too slow, arty, and self-conscious for my liking. Kyle MacLachlan is a nice choice for the lead character, his fragility and youth contrasting with the tough characters he meets, and there's some good weirdness and suspense throughout. However, the film is also oddly hollow, and only really picks up in the second half.

Blue VelvetThe feature is smartly separated into various high pitched dramatic sequences that are mesmerizing and bedazzling; even though inedible to encounter, offering some of the best theater act like drama culminated into this convoluted vision. The writing is witty, exhilarating and gripping throughout the course of it where if plotted a graph there barely would be a dip somewhere in its second act which is feasible. The technical aspects like background score is up beating and horrifying and is perfectly edited too. David Lynch; the writer-director, once again proves his excellence and passion towards the art of the cinema through his brilliant execution skills which holds the audience on the edge of the seat, rooting for more even after the curtain drops. The performance level is satisfactorily filled in by Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini and Laura Dern as a supporting cast. The only minor conflict in this feature is the definite point that it fails to make despite of building it up to such a peak where the audience feels vulnerable and surrendered to the world depicted in here. Blue Velvet is a smooth and satisfying experience in terms of craft that is explored in here and the thrill it offers along with it.

A great cast wasted in this self indulgent, rambling, waste of time. Plenty of faux symbolism, significant of nothing.

I decide to watch this film because of all the hype surrounding it, and after 20 minutes or so I instantly regretted it. By the time the credits arrived I was bored out of my skull, and I consider it a waste of 2 hours I will never get back. As for the much touted nudity and violence?, are you kidding me?, this film was a joke, there was barely any nudity at all, and if that's the viewers cup of tea, you will be far better off watching "Baise Moi", or "All about Anna"....at least those films have far more decent nudity, erotica, and were realistically done The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen, and perhaps the only redeeming feature of this film was Dennis Hopper, yet the acting was so over the top, it was laughable, as if you're watching a bad performance or something.....Dennis Hopper gives a far more gritty performance in the film "Speed" This film was literally boring as heck, and it went nowhere for me Avoid at all costs
