Blue Velvet (1986, dir: David Lynch)
No film in recent history has generated more praise or more controversy than Blue Velvet. Director David Lynch takes you on a surreal journey that peeks through the windows and over the well trimmed hedges of small town to discover murder, mystery and perversion. His hero (Kyle MacLachlan) finds a severed ear whose trail leads him to a detective’s daughter (Laura Dern) and a mesmerizing beauty (Isabella Rossellini) with a terrible secret. Dennis Hopper’s ferocious performance as the sadistic villain is already legendary. Disturbing, astounding and sometimes oddly comic, BLUE VELVET is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before: one touch and you’ll never be the same.
“Erotically charged… you’ve never seen anything like it in your life.”
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
