| • | Blue Velvet is a 1986 film directed and written by David Lynch. The title is taken from a Bobby Vinton song by the same name, which is sung by Isabella Rossellini's character in the film.
The film was made shortly after Lynch's artistically troubling film Dune, which ran into various problems during shooting and eventually became a commecial and critical disappointment.
By this time, Lynch had pieced together various story elements that he had been putting together for a peroid of time that eventually became the bulk of the material for Blue Velvet.
It was the second film Lynch produced for Dino de Laurentiis. Because the material was completely different from anything that would be considered mainstream at the time, Laurentiis had to start his own production company to distribute it. The film was also cut down from its original four-hour length to its final 120 minute length. The missing footage was put in storage and apparently lost for good.
Blue Velvet was a huge critical success, earning Lynch his second Academy Award nomination and introducing several common elements of his work, including abused women, the dark underbelly of small towns and unconventional uses of vintage songs (Bobby Vintonࢀ&#-2509; "Blue Velvet" and Roy Orbisonࢀ&#-2509; "In Dreams" are both featured in disturbing ways). It was also the first time Lynch worked with composer Angelo Badalamenti, who would contribute to all of his future full-length films.
