BLUE VELVET
Synopsis
SURREALIST SATURDAYS
40e anniversaire
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).
PROGRAMMER’S NOTE: The master of American surrealist cinema, David Lynch, closes out the series with a 40th-anniversary screening of BLUE VELVET. A precursor to Twin Peaks, the film’s constantly shifting tone walks the line between dream and nightmare, revealing the darkness lurking beneath suburban life
