About the film
Blending psychological horror, neo-noir, and mystery, Blue Velvet tells the story of college Jeffrey Beaumont who happens upon a severed human ear in a vacant lot and suddenly finds himself embroiled in a bizarre, four-sided love triangle between himself, the sheriff’s daughter, a mysterious sadomasochistic lounge singer, and a drug-huffing psychopath named Frank. Jeffrey’s decision to investigate the strange ear and indulge his curiosity about forbidden passions take him into a dark underworld world where finding the light again may cost him everything.
Starring Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Laura Dern, and Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet puts Lynch’s unique twist on conventional movie motifs like the femme fatale, the insurmountable villain, and the hero whose moral compass is questionable. The film earned Lynch an Oscar nomination for Best Director.
