What if the Cinema isn't Completely Dead?

David Lynch is a good example of someone who continues to reinvent the cinema with each film he makes. Blue Velvet epitomizes Lynch's techniques as a true avant-garde artist telling a story, only in a very bizarre way. His visual style is beautiful like Greenaway, and he deals with metaphor in a way of letting the audience know they are only watching a film. It's self-reflexive approach is what Greenaway is aiming at. Here is a link to the Blue Velvet site.
