gavin6942 We start off with a great interview with Kyle MacLachlan explaining how he did not know Lynch's work but found him "friendly" and "available". In fact, the documentary is just full of great interviews with all the key cast. And we learn the importance of Bob's Big Boy.Dennis Hopper informs us that "I am Frank Booth", Laura Dern and Isabella Rosselini add their input. We get some classic clips of reviews, and Siskel trumps Ebert on this one -- I hope Ebert later realized he misjudged the film. And it was awesome how the producer had to start his own distribution company to get it released.I know others have criticized the lack of Lynch in this, but I would say the archive footage says as much or more as he would twenty years later. What would have changed? Not much.
Sophia_McManus Excellently made documentary on the classic 1986 thriller,Blue Velvet. Featuring cast interviews from Kyle MacLachlin, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern, as well as producers etc. Its just a shame, and probably the only detractor, that the director behind this gem, David Lynch, didn't participate in the new documentary. Instead, they show archive footage of older interviews on the film.The documentary analyzes the impact, production, inception and background to the film and crossover to in-depth interviews with cast and crew-members with excellent insight. Good viewing for a die-hard Blue Velvet fan, like myself!
Stanley Allen Schwarz's "Mysteries of Love" is a wonderful reminiscence by the cast and film-makers of the landmark movie "Blue Velvet". Lynch does not participate in the new footage, but is more than adequately represented by clips from interviews from the time of the film's release. In contrast to most DVD-extras (wherein the cast and producers lavish obviously forced or perfunctory praise on the director or their co-workers) these participants seem genuine in their appreciation of Lynch and his work, and offer hype-free insights into the production process and into Lynch's direction. Blue Velvet is an "important film" and is well-represented by this set of interviews.
BrillsteinGray I'm sorry but I didn't like this doc very much. I can think of a million ways it could have been better. The people who made it obviously don't have much imagination. The interviews aren't very interesting and no real insight is offered. The footage isn't assembled in a very informative way, either. It's too bad because this is a movie that really deserves spellbinding special features. One thing I'll say is that Isabella Rosselini gets more beautiful the older she gets. All considered, this only gets a '4.'
