Plot
"Hypnotic And Unsettling!" - Los Angeles Times

Spawned from the unique mind of Oscar-nominated director/writer and cinematic guru, David Lynch (Dune, Wild at Heart, "Twin Peaks"), Blue Velvet is "the work of a genius" (Pauline Kael). Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern star in this "disturbing and magical" (Rolling Stone), suspense-filled masterpiece of mystery and madness that's "a startling mixture of the heartfelt and the horrific" (Newsweek).

Cleancut college boy Jeffrey (MacLachlan) finds his Mayberry-like hometown is not so normal when he discovers a human ear in a field. His investigation catapults him into an alluring, erotic murder mystery involving a disturbed nightclub singer (Rossellini) and a drug-addicted sadist (Hopper). Soon Jeffrey's led deeper into their depraved existence, finding himself obsessed with this dark, enigmatic underworld…to the point of no return.
