Obviously, such a movie on a screen would prove to be better because the rich texture seems to be absent here, even though the screenplay is written very well.louis (9 out of 10 )
Am I imagining things or does that script have a hell of a lot of scenes at the beginning that were never filmed?Sam (10 out of 10 )
Louis, the original cut of the movie, as I understand, was 4 hours long, but by contract David Lynch had to deliver a film less than two hours in length. The final film is one frame short of two hours. When Lynch was asked about the footage, he claimed that the studio had been unable to locate it; he thinks it has been lost forever. On the Blue Velvet Special Edition disk though, there's an attempt to reconstruct part of the film with still images taken during production. God, this film is so good. Ingenious!
