My watch history

Poster for Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet

I feel like I need to watch this again to get closer to understanding it.

There were bits that didn’t really hold my attention, but overall there was so much going on in different layers it’s hard to stop thinking about it.

A lot of films feel like books, where you follow the story along and that’s that. This feels more like a painting with lots of detail that leaves you confused as to how you feel when you walk away.
