Blue Velvet
(David Lynch, USA 1986, 120')
A deeply shocking and iconic film, David Lynch's offbeat vision uncovers the nasty underside of what Edward Hopper called ‘all the sweltering, tawdry life of the American small town, and the sad desolation of our suburban landscape’.
When a young man (Kyle MacLachlan) returns to his hometown of Lumberton, North Carolina, in order to visit his sick father, he discovers a severed human ear in a vacant field. His curiosity leads him to embark on an investigation into the world of a sexy nightclub singer (Isabella Rossellini) whose involvement with a raving psychopath (Dennis Hopper) begins to answer some important questions.
