An interesting article about David Lynch's Blue Velvet, now considered a modern classic, though decried on its release 15 years ago.
Blue Velvet is being rereleased; meanwhile, Lynch's newie, Mulholland Drive will soon appear in cinemas (there was a trailer for it before Lord of the Rings; it looks somewhat like Lost Highway in mood and tone).
<i>Mulholland Drive</i> comes out there on the 31st. I saw it over here on Saturday (it just opened) and thought that it was great; parts of it are very like <i>Lost Highway</i> though there's not the same feeling of lethargy that sometimes pervades that film. I enjoyed it a lot: it's very much a film telling Hollywood to get fucked, in no uncertain terms.
