Confession Time…

Despite Lynch being one of my top 5 directors and one of my biggest influences in my own art… I’ve never been able to make it all the way through Blue Velvet. Dennis Hopper is just such a damn good actor… and paired with Lynch… ugh… his character makes me physically ill. I get that’s the point… and it’s a testament to both their talent… I just can’t do it. I can’t pull myself out of the fiction and remind myself it’s just a movie. I’ve easily made it through films with much bigger reputations for being repulsive… but Blue Velvet is my white whale.
