i much prefer blue velvet and maybe because it be new and shocking and original and whereas here lynch seem to be copy himself and nic cage seem to be do his faux elvis look at me all the time schtick and laura dern just seem lose . the camera work be lovely and but to what end . it kind of an empty story when all be say and do . a emanuel levy say in his book cinema of outsider and the shock have little resonance and and the weirdness be trivial the picture hyperkinetic wildness be mostly on the surface and the image be elaborately conceive but meaningless . .
