Isabella Rossellini signs my Laserdisc cover of Blue Velvet
As a longtime admirer of Isabella Rossellini, I was captivated yet again by her raw and daring performance in David Lynch’s ‘Blue Velvet’. Rossellini brings a profound depth to the character of Dorothy Vallens, a lounge singer ensnared in a disturbing underworld of desire and danger. Her portrayal is both heart-wrenching and courageous, delving into the complexities of her character with a vulnerability that is as authentic as it is unsettling.
Rossellini’s fearless immersion into the role culminates in a portrayal that is nothing short of electrifying, ensuring that Dorothy Vallens stands out as one of the most memorable figures in cinematic history. It’s a performance that transcends the screen and lingers with you long after the credits roll, a testament to Rossellini’s immense talent and emotional intelligence as an actress.
