Blue Velvet matinee at the Chauvel
October 28th 2007 21:23
Well, I'm finally back from my vacation, which was still exhausting, somehow.
I haven't been able to watch ANYTHING for a week, and I'm eager to bite into something... over at moviereviews.net.au, Jickle posted a review of Blue Velvet, which reminded me that the Chauvel would be screening it next Sunday.
Jickle sez:
Lynch is a master of maintaining tension on film... most generic thrillers and horror movies follow a predictable cycle, but Lynch keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire two hours. Shall we meet at the Chauvel next Sunday?

Jickle sez:
"When it came out in 1986, this film was a huge, steaming bowl of Controversy Soup. There are a few main reasons for this:
1. The sex scenes are perverse, bizaree and terrifying.
2. Dorothy's ordeal in the movie is very, very intense. Roger Ebert's original review of the film condemned it for making him watch Isabella Rossellini get degraded on the screen in such an intense fashion.
3. There's some pretty heavy violence and swearing.
4. Frank is, to put it mildly, bloody terrifying."
