DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the universe of David Lynch with Blue Velvet.
The screening will be introduced by film critic Jan Nevyjel.
“'Blue Velvet’ is a Bobby Vinton song from the ’50s that I discovered in the ’60s. It’s a song that inspired me because it always put me in a specific state of mind. As for velvet, it’s a remarkable material – sensual, rich, heavy, almost organic.” – David Lynch
Blue Velvet is Lynch’s famed breakthrough film, in which his directorial signature was already fully formed but was also squeezed into an accessible genre framework with a thrilling plot. The dark film, which smacks of sex, drugs, and ’60s suburbia, is at times a coming-of-age flick, at times a noir whodunit, and for the most part an undeniably and unexpectedly violent thriller. Yet Blue Velvet begins and ends with hyperrealistic images of the American dream. Between these two technicolour sequences, the inquisitive Jeffrey, played by Lynch’s frequent collaborator Kyle MacLachlan, delves into a world of toxic addiction and crime that takes on the contours of a nightmare. Masterfully crafted in terms of both visuals and music, many say Blue Velvet is the most important American film of the 1980s, but it was made as a low-budget Band-Aid after Lynch’s colossally unsuccessful collaboration with the De Laurentiis clan on Dune. The casting –which includes Isabella Rossellini as the masochistic femme fatale and the bestial Dennis Hopper as the most terrifying villain since Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter – also contributed to the film’s success.
