Blue Velvet
Directed by David Lynch
1986
★ 8.0 editorial score
Lynch invented his own genre here and the word Lynchian dates from it: a severed ear in a field leads into the underside of an ordinary American town.
“Other directors labor long and hard to achieve the fevered perversity that comes so naturally to David Lynch, whose ''Blue Velvet'' is an instant cult classic...Kinkiness is its salient quality, but ''Blue Velvet'' has deadpan humor too, as well as a straight-arrow side that makes its eccentricity all the crazier. There's no mistaking the exhilarating fact that it's one of a kind.”
