1986 • dir David Lynch w/Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern, Dean Stockwell • 120 min • 35mm
The De Laurentiis name has been behind some of the most revered cult films of all time – including FLASH GORDON, BARBARELLA, Evil Dead II, the Halloween sequels, Conan, and even Bill & Ted – but few have a more significant role in U.S. cinema culture than BLUE VELVET. One of the most iconic films of the 1980s, David Lynch’s upending of the suburban ideal follows a young man (MacLachlan) who is exposed to the depraved underbelly of America when he meets the terrifying Frank Booth (Hopper).
Staff Pick! Rachel, Joey: A great film for anyone who hasn’t taken the dive yet into David Lynch’s filmography. Dennis Hopper is insanely good (and just plain insane) in this!”
