Home from college, Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) makes an unsettling discovery: a severed human
ear, lying in a field. In the mystery that follows, by turns terrifying and
darkly funny, writer-director David Lynch burrows deep beneath the picturesque
surfaces of small-town life. Driven to investigate, Jeffrey finds himself
drawing closer to his fellow amateur sleuth, Sandy Williams (Laura Dern), as well as their person of
interest, lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella
Rossellini)—and facing the fury of Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), a psychopath who will stop at nothing to keep
Dorothy in his grasp. With intense performances and hauntingly powerful scenes
and images, Blue Velvet is an unforgettable vision of
innocence lost, and one of the most influential American films of the past few
decades. (USA, 1986, 120 Mins., R, English | Dir. David Lynch)
