The Blue Velvet 'Ingrid Bergman Mashup Thought Experiment'

The Blue Velvet 'Ingrid Bergman Mashup Thought Experiment'

Because one good Lynchian turn deserves another: "I found myself intensifying the experience of Jeffrey's scenes with Dorothy with a kind of conceptual narcotic inhaler: it involved, ahem, imagining Isabella Rossellini was her mother and that Kyle MacLachlan was actually playing this love scene with Ingrid Bergman. And it is very easy to do – not merely because Rossellini looks and sounds so much like Bergman, but because of the film's intense noir atmosphere. Perhaps I need therapy. But there is something in the infectious and mesmeric weirdness of David Lynch which makes it feel all right." [The Guardian]
