Blue velvet

Blu-ray 1986

David Lynch's brutally unsettling film tells the strange story of Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan), a young man drawn into the mysterious orbit of beautiful nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and her relationship with gas-huffing psychopath Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper). Bringing the innocent Sandy (Laura Dern) into his investigation, Jeffrey plummets into a scary, hidden world of violence and erotic surrender.
