"Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd. " -David Lynch

A young man visits his childhood neighborhood to help take care of his ill father. But he soon finds himself being in love with a detectives daughter and mixed up in a twisted dark mystery.

This film doesn't follow normal logic but rather dream logic, the film provides us with distorted imagery of our suburban "white picked fence" reality.

In this film symbolism and dark disturbing secrets are hiding behind each corner. The film has a classic film nior murder mystery element but it is paired with so much more. I found myself laughing at the absurdity of the imagery. Lynch entertains classic Hollywood conventions, like over romanticizing and over the top reactions from the characters.

Blue velvet exploits the constant fight between light and dark, the good and bad along with the dreamlike reality we make our self believe.

A perfect suburban dream is not always as it seems

If you are looking for a absurd unsettling mystery then I would highly recommend watching blue velvet, this film is an unexpected treat to the eye as well as the mind.

Tokyo Story deals with every day family relationships, the film follows an old couple that visits their children in the city, but their children have no time for them and treat them like a burden. The only real appreciation they get is from their widowed daughter in- la...
