What gave Blue Velvet its dreamlike quality?

Francine Stock revisits the manicured lawns and gothic horror of Blue Velvet as David Lynch's surreal masterpiece celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. With an undefinable time setting and the creative use of sound, Lynch takes us into a truly phantasmagorical world. Francine talks to Christopher Laverty, creator and editor of the Clothes on Film blog, and critics Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Tim Robey.
