Overview

Join us in honoring the unparalleled legacy of David Lynch with a special screening of his seminal masterpiece, BLUE VELVET. This hauntingly beautiful and provocative film encapsulates Lynch’s visionary artistry, showcasing his talent for uncovering darkness beneath the veneer of small-town life.

Released in 1986, BLUE VELVET remains a landmark in cinema, blending neo-noir, surrealism, and psychological horror in a way that only Lynch could conjure. Through his masterful direction, Lynch weaves a hypnotic tale that begins with a simple discovery—a severed ear—and spirals into a labyrinth of obsession, violence, and mystery. remains a landmark in cinema, blending neo-noir, surrealism, and psychological horror in a way that only Lynch could conjure.

Reviews

"As fascinating as it is freakish. It confirms Mr. Lynch's stature as an innovator, a superb technician, and someone best not encountered in a dark alley."
– NEW YORK TIMES

"The most brilliantly disturbing film ever to have its roots in small-town American life."
– LOS ANGELES TIMES

"The last real earthquake to hit cinema was David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" -- I'm sure directors throughout the film world felt the earth move beneath their feet and couldn't sleep the night of their first encounter with it back in 1986."
– VILLAGE VOICE

"Blue Velvet is David Lynch in peak form, and represents (to date) his most accomplished motion picture. It is a work of fascinating scope and power that rivals any of the most subversive films to reach the screens during the '80s."
– REELVIEWS
