Midweek Mention... Blue Velvet

On it's release Blue Velvet (1986) caused a bit of a stir. Initially shown at the  Montréal World Film Festival in August 1986, and at the Toronto Festival of Festivals, the film received both a chorus of boos and cheers. So pretty standard film festival reactions then! The movie contains some very graphic and shocking scenes of violence and a performance from Dennis Hopper than will live long in the memory. The Dads try to make some sense of it all, and leave with heightened anticipation for our next David Lynch instalment.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.
