In the days of hopelessly overbugeted films and trashy remakes it seems that their are few originals working. It is also ironic that this superb film came of the back of a hopelessly bloated blockbuster. Blue Velvet is an original, haunting masterpiece. Filled with ambiguous images, haunting shots and surreal scenes it may not be for all tastes sure, but no one can deny its power and viscerality. Dennis Hopper WILL never get a better role to showcase his talent and gives a masterclass in psycho. Forget Perkins and Hopkins, Hopper's character is as scary and haunting as he is psychotic. A truly original piece of work that stands up as a fantastic achievement in modern film. God bless you Lynch.
