An expansion and deeper analysis of the director's previous No Frank in Lumberton, this semi-documentary is in itself a work of art conveying the making of Blue Velvet through a skillfully assembled and atmospheric collage of visuals and aural impressions, but all throughout remaining informative about David Lynch's creative process.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The impression that comes across is that this is what it takes to be a great artist: awareness, imagination and a willingness to do whatever needs to be done.

While Braatz had a wealth of documentation and geeky ephemera that would be catnip to any Lynch enthusiast, he assembled them in such a way that the finished product fails to stand on its own as an artistic statement.

While it threatens to stretch the boundaries of its structure and style with its pacing at points, Blue Velvet Revisited also proves revelatory, specifically where Lynch and his creative process is concerned.

The Film Experience

Viewers wanting a more traditional Blue Velvet making-of documentary should look no further than Mysteries of Love, the 2002 doc made for DVD release. Blue Velvet Revisited, however, is something different.

Rated: B+

Since Lynch himself has not always been especially available to film journalists since Blue Velvet, you take your value where you can get it.

Rated: 3/5
