"Mourning And Music In David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” A New York City Inter-Campus Event Wednesday, March 18th, 4:15 p.m., BHSEC Library
This is a presentation of the Faculty Seminar Series by David Copenhafer, Faculty, BHSEC II, Queens
In the film "Blue Velvet" music is a key component of the intricate staging of gender and sexuality. In the talk, Mr. Copenhafer will interpret four scenes in which characters either sing songs or imitate singing. He argues that the unsettling appearance of gender and sexuality within performance functions as a likely origin for the murderous rage of the film's antagonist, Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
