Revisit the film that defined David Lynch as we know him today, with more informational supplements than he usually provides.
proved himself a master of the waking nightmarescape. In The Elephant Man, he brought a sense of that surrealism to a biopic.— that he really became the David Lynch we know today. Twin Peaks, with its three incarnations of TV series, movie, and premium cable revival, may never be surpassed as his epic masterpiece. However, Blue Velvet was the dry run for nearly everything in there.
The CW’s Riverdale may have made Archie Andrews’ comic world dark and strange, but only because Lynch nailed that vibe of Archie comics with dark undertones first. The 4K transfer really makes both the bright flowers and the barely lit night scenes rich and deep, and the optional 5.1 audio allows the actors to be better heard amid occasional cacophonies on the soundtrack. Blue Velvet has not looked this good in quite a while.
It’s a shame for Mullally, who could have used the early career boost, but good for the movie. It’s better we don’t know too much about Jeffrey’s backstory, and frankly, the deleted scenes often feel more like the sort of scenes producers usually insist must be added in for clarity rather than removed. Lynch had the final cut, but not to the point of rendering the length unreleasable.
Ebert asked if all the violence was in the service of anything valid, and maybe it takes knowing what we know now of Lynch, but even my Boomer father, watching the movie when it came out, said it made him think twice about what was under the surface in his own idyllic hometown. It’s a pointed reminder that people and places contain hidden multitudes, and the image being sold isn’t always what you get. Ironically, protesters reacting to superficial details proved that point.
