I saw this a few nights ago now & I still feel the magic. This was my fifth Reichardt film, and maybe the first I’ve seen where the leads were men & only men.

Lynch seamlessly depicts the bizarre & executes the unpredictable in this worthy classic. As is true for most of his works, Blue Velvet’s narrative is thick & difficult to navigate— it’s multidimensional, surprising, and weird as fuck.
