mm this David Lynch bloke was pretty odd, wasn’t he…
This film was actually insane though, looking back it’s a story that does make sense - at least vaguely - but in the moment it seems so fucking wacky. I’ve joked recently about how Badlands (1973) keeps popping up wherever I go, not least in Lynch’s biography - but the beginning of Blue Velvet really kinda invokes that same feeling, obviously by the time the ear is introduced that’s quickly irrelevant…
Whisper of the Heart is what it means to experience all of the joy and magic and wonder that the world has to offer. Each watch just reminds me how much I can and should love in life.

There can be no victory in war.
Great film, incredible performances. Super cool to see it at NFTS!!
So fucking bizarre.
It’s funny, it’s confusing, it’s weirdly profound(?), it was wholly enjoyable and I loved it.
4/5
The moment Austin Butler arrives, from the scene on Geidi Prime - Dune: Part 2 takes off and cements itself as the biggest, boldest, most ambitious work of not only science fiction but cinema. What an absolute masterpiece.
I wish I had more to say - I definitely will have more to say - but I’ll leave it at that because that’s really the crux of it. Just wow.
See it in IMAX!!!
