Blue Velvet: 2K Restoration

Fri & Sat, Jan 5 & 6 / 7 pm
Directed by David Lynch
1986, USA, 120 min

In many respects the film upon which David Lynch built his reputation, Blue Velvet is one of the darkest explorations of Middle America ever to grace the silver screen. After he discovers a severed human ear in a field, college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan) teams up with a police lieutenant’s high-school daughter (Laura Dern) to unravel the mystery. Their investigation leads to a beautiful nightclub singer (Isabella Rossellini) and a group of psychotic criminals, led by Dennis Hopper’s iconic, inhalant-sniffing villain, Frank Booth. An unassailable classic of 1980s Hollywood, the seductive and sinister Blue Velvet provides the viewer with a nightmarish glimpse into what lies on the other side of the white-picket fence.

Reviews

The seamless blending of beauty and horror is remarkable, the terror very real, and the sheer wealth of imagination virtually unequalled in recent cinema.
– Geoff Andrew, Time Out (London)
