Director: David Lynch/1986/USA/120mins

Possibly Lynch’s best-known film and widely considered his masterpiece.  Blue Velvet ‘an intensely 80s movie with an intensely 40s noir template’ (Peter Bradshaw), paints a disturbing portrait of how true evil can hide beneath suburban banality.  

After clean-cut college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) discovers a severed ear near his home, his investigation leads him to singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and he soon finds himself dragged into a sadistic criminal world.
