Blue Velvet Revisited
In 1985, David Lynch invited a young German filmmaker named Peter Braatz
onto the set of his latest production, Blue Velvet. Over the next couple of months, Braatz recorded hours of footage, shot
thousands of photographs and conducted numerous interviews with the cast and crew. For over thirty years, the majority of
this material has gone unseen. But now, […] like a longforgotten dream, Blue Velvet Revisited takes the viewer on a mysterious
journey from which one emerges with more questions than answers. And what could be more Lynchian than that? (Michael Blyth,
BFI London Film Festival)
