Blue Velvet: Bloomsbury Pocket Movie Guide 3

Bloomsbury Movie Guides are A to Z companions to some of the greatest, most memorable films ever made. The books feature scores of entries on all aspects of the making and meaning of movies, and include historic, cinematic, and literary references; profiles of the actors and directors; and interviews. Considered by many to be David Lynch's best film to date, Blue Velvet is certainly his most famous. Beneath its tranquil, beautifully filmed, small-town ambience, lies violence and depravity on a monstrous scale, and at its core is Dennis Hopper's chilling star-turn as Frank. Charles Drazin captures the film's elusive spirit.
