FIND GOODREAD

For many, Blue Velvet is David Lynch's masterpiece. It crystallises many of his chief preoccupations: the evil and violence underlying the surface of suburbia, the seedy by-ways of sexuality, the frightening appearance of the adult world to a child's eyes. In this intricate and layered reading of the film, Michael Atkinson analyses Blue Velvet as the definitive expression of the traumatized innocence which characterizes Lynch's work. (less) 

Korte samenvatting / 

Student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) keert terug naar huis nadat zijn vader een beroerte heeft gehad. Wanneer hij een afgehakt oor ontdekt in een verlaten veld, werkt Beaumont samen met detective's dochter Sandy Williams (Laura Dern) om het mysterie op te lossen. Ze geloven dat de mooie loungezangeres Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) mogelijk verband houdt met de zaak, en Beaumont wordt aangetrokken door haar duistere, verwrongen wereld, waar hij de seksueel verdorven psychopaat Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) ontmoet.

Brief summary

College student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) returns home after his father has a stroke. When he discovers a severed ear in an abandoned field, Beaumont teams up with detective's daughter Sandy Williams (Laura Dern) to solve the mystery. They believe beautiful lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) may be connected with the case, and Beaumont finds himself becoming drawn into her dark, twisted world, where he encounters sexually depraved psychopath Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
