User Review
Interesting attempt that could have been better
Rating: 6/10
Praise Blue Velvet all you want, but you'll never hear me say it's a
great movie. I think it's a good movie. Enter Black Heaven thirty years
later, a little french movie that takes Lynch and goes Matrix with him.
The result is intriguing to be sure in a kind of experimental way, well
shot and scored, but in the end the movie is unable to surpass Lynch
for two reasons. It feels too mannered and refined and it comes with a
rushed finale.
Blue Velvet may have been ham fisted but Lynch was able to get some
suspense and eroticism out of it. Black Heaven cools it down a little
bit. On the positive side, we don't have to endure another Dennis
Hopper 'attempt to steal the show' performance, but the movie kind of
neglects to embrace what makes it different and potentially superior.
Black Heaven, actually has something interesting going for it. Part of
the movie plays out in a computer game, and there is the sense that
Black Heaven could do something more exiting with the story, but it
keeps everything neat and tidy, sometimes resorting to cheap measures.
The movie ends way too soon. Just when it looks like Black Heaven might
just turn up the heat, the game shuts down (so to speak) after a rather
disappointing pay off.
Looking back, I'll say we have a curious and mystique little indie
film, but it's not quite there.
