David Lynch cemented his reputation as an uncompromising visionary with BLUE VELVET, one of the most controversial films of the 1980s, burrowing beneath the surface of idyllic suburban America to reveal a sinister underworld of sex and violence. After stumbling upon a severed human ear, a young college student (Kyle MacLachlan) becomes obsessed with investigating its origins and gets entangled with a nightclub chanteuse (Isabella Rossellini) and her psychopathic lover (Dennis Hopper). A masterfully eerie, depraved psychosexual nightmare and one of the greatest films of the 1980s.
“Frank Booth is the role Dennis Hopper was born and chemically mutated to own. Sometimes David Lynch can teeter too far into the absurdity for absurdity's sake, but BLUE VELVET remains perfectly balanced as it dives into the dark, bizarre underbelly of society that lurks just below the surface of suburbia. It is also worth noting that BLUE VELVET, when screened in the first month of operation at the original Alamo, was the movie that inspired our strict no-talking policy.” (Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse founder)
