Review: "David Lynch is the master of regression in service of the ego on film. He first established this fact with "Eraserhead" and continued his journey through off-beat realms in "Wild at Heart" and "Lost Highway". By this I mean his subjects examine the depths of human depravity and malaise. Bordering on psychosis and self indulgence he nevertheless draws the viewer into his personal surrealism.
With "Blue Velvet" he introduces a new eeriness to the screen that almost seems symbolic at times, but is actually fascinatingly bizarre and just beyond comprehension in much the same fashion as the imagery of a nightmare. My first viewing of the film led me to conclude that the characters were all projections of the protagonist's personailty. It all leads to a scary journey and a tattered shattering tale. A flawed but seemingly original creation."
