Isabella Rossellini set the record straight about her role in David Lynch's controversial cult classic 'Blue Velvet,' denying she was ever 'exploited' for the film.
'Blue Velvet' remains a cult classic and somewhat controversial film from offbeat director David Lynch, and the film’s star, Isabella Rossellini, is correcting some of the negativity connected to it. In a new interview with IndieWire, Rossellini responded to the late Roger Ebert’s one-star review of the 1986 film. 'I didn’t read the reviews at the time came out. I try not to read reviews. They’re always depressing.
When asked about it by IndieWire, Rossellini disagreed with the 'rigidity of if you make a film about a woman, it has to be a woman .' She continued, 'First of all, ‘Blue Velvet’ is also about men, so who’s going to make the film? If you make a film about the aliens, they have to have aliens direct? It doesn’t make any sense.' 'I’m glad ‘Blue Velvet’ was directed by David Lynch,' Rossellini added. 'It’s one of his best films. He’s such a great author.
