Blue Velvet
Directed by David Lynch
Written by David Lynch
1986, USA
In 1986 it was a strange world and it was about to get weirder, as the irradiated detritus from the Chernobyl disaster infected Northern Europe a similarly radioactive event was contaminating cinema screens worldwide, as we alight upon the first masterpiece of Lynch’s career – I just thought I’d be up front about that. After the painful critical evisceration of Dune a wounded Lynch retreated to his lair and decided he needed to go back to his roots and make a smaller, more personal and manageable film, without the distractions that an interfering studio, costly SFX and adjacent marketing concerns which had partially diluted his creative essence and drive. He had signed a two picture production deal with Dino De Laurentiss whom in a rare moment of executive support stood true to his word and honoured the contract, a...

DVD Playhouse—November 2011
By Allen Gardner
Tree Of Life (20th Century Fox) Terrence Malick’s latest effort is both the best film of 2011 and the finest work of his (arguably) mixed, but often masterly canon. A series of vignettes, mostly set in 1950s Texas, capture the memory of a man (Sean Penn) in present-day New York who looks back on his life, and his parents’ (Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain) troubled marriage, when word of his younger brother’s suicide reaches him. Almost indescribable beyond that, except to say no other film in history so perfectly evokes the magic and mystery of the human memory, which both crystalizes (and sometimes idealizes) the past. Like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, this is a challenging, polarizing work that you must let wash over you. If you go along for the ride, you’re in for a unique, rewarding cinematic experience. Also available on Blu-ray disc.

Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none
There are a handful of films that I hated the first time that I viewed them, but upon subsequent viewings have all come to be beloved favorites of mine. James Toback’s Fingers (1978) was an incoherent mess to my naïve, nineteen year-old eyes but was revealed to be one of the cinema’s greatest character studies years later; William Friedkin’s To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) seemed like a Miami Vice wanna-be, but is now one of the best police thrillers ever and gives the average person a hint of what it must be like to be a cop; and David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986) was…well…strange. The film was…confusing…boring…aimless…weird…My friends and I honestly didn’t know what to make of it after we stumbled out of the theater in October 1986 and pondered...

When I originally put together the list of the neo-noirs I was planning on including in this retrospective, I had put down two David Lynch titles: Lost Highway (1997) and Mulholland Dr. (2001). Unfortunately, Mulholland Dr., one of my favorite films of the aughts, had already been covered by the site when we attempted the film club, so I didn't want to whip a dead horse by covering it again. Having promised I'd watch Lost Highway with a friend, I was at a loss as to what to watch. I scanned my DVD shelf, my eyes momentarily meeting with Blue Velvet (1986), and I began to mentally scratch my head. I hadn't watched the film in nearly a decade, not since being forced onto a David Lynch kick brought on by the theatrical release of Mulholland Dr. in high school. For some reason, I never had the urge to return to it, not...
