Blue Velvet

NEW 4K RESTORATION

Since its release in 1986, David Lynch’s Blue Velvet has come to be regarded as one of the defining American films of the late 20th century. Its blend of noir elements, suburban imagery, and psychological intensity has had a lasting influence, paving the way for filmmakers interested in exploring the tension between surface normalcy and hidden darkness.

College student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) returns home after his father has a stroke. When he discovers a severed ear in an abandoned field, Beaumont teams up with detective’s daughter Sandy Williams (Laura Dern) to solve the mystery. They believe beautiful lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) may be connected with the case, and Beaumont finds himself becoming drawn into her dark, twisted world, where he encounters sexually depraved psychopath Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
