Blue Velvet (BFI Film Classics)

Blue Velvet (BFI Film Classics) by Atkinson, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780851705590.

For many, Blue Velvet is David Lynchs masterpiece. It crystallises many of his chief preoccupations: the evil and violence underlying the surface of suburbia, the seedy by-ways of sexuality, the frightening appearance of the adult world to a childs eyes. In this intricate and layered reading of the film, Michael Atkinson analyses Blue Velvet as the definitive expression of the traumatized innocence which characterizes Lynchs work.
