About the film:
When a young man discovers a severed human ear in a field, he begins an investigation that leads to a beautiful, mysterious nightclub singer and the group of criminals who have kidnapped her child. David Lynch’s controversial cult classic perfectly captures the director’s iconic imagery of distorted suburbia. With intense performances and hauntingly powerful scenes and images, Blue Velvet is an unforgettable vision of innocence lost, and one of the most influential American films of the past few decades.
“thoroughly unpredictable, frequently disturbing and sometimes jaw-droppingly funny film. There isn’t anything else quite like it, and it’s pretty wonderful.“
—Dave Kehr for The Chicago Tribune
