David Lynch Remembered (1946-2025)
"The last real earthquake to hit cinema was David Lynch's Blue Velvet—I'm sure directors throughout the film world felt the earth move beneath their feet and couldn't sleep the night of their first encounter with it back in 1986."—Guy Maddin, Village Voice
There's something going on behind the white picket fences of Lumberton, North Carolina. And after stumbling upon a severed human ear in a field, mystery-loving college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle Maclachlan) is determined to find out what. Teaming up with the daughter of a local police detective (Laura Dern), Jeffrey's investigation leads him into a strange world of sensuality and violence, with the intrigue of the missing ear seemingly stemming from the relationship between a troubled nightclub singer (Isabella Rossellini) and a sociopathic sadomasochist (Dennis Hopper).
