"The legend of the missing ear"
review of Blue Velvet (1986) by David Lynch
Clearly, I am not a David Lynch fan. I have watched Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr. , and Inland Empire to try and understand where Lynch's high acclaim comes from, and have yet to find it. The cinematography, plots, and acting proved to be less than mediocre in all three films, and was the least enjoyable in Blue Velvet.
I've tried to sit down and watch this film on numerous occasions, each time with an open mind. I just couldn't get into it. The mysticism that Lynch fans claim to surround the plot wore thin after only thirty minutes of viewing time.
When it comes to mixing drama and thriller elements, I'll stick to Scorsese.
