Blue Velvet is a 1986 psychological thriller film directed by David Lynch and stars Kyle MacLachlan as Jeffrey Beaumont, a young man who returns to his hometown of Lumberton, North Carolina after his father falls ill. While walking through a field, he discovers a severed human ear and becomes obsessed with the mystery behind it.
With the help of the local police detective's daughter Sandy (Laura Dern), Jeffrey begins to investigate the ear's origin and ends up getting involved with Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini), a troubled nightclub singer with ties to a group of criminals led by the sadistic Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
Jeffrey and Sandy's investigation leads them deep into the seedy underbelly of Lumberton, where they uncover a world of corruption, violence, and sexual deviance. As they try to rescue Dorothy's kidnapped child and bring Frank to justice, Jeffrey finds himself drawn to her in a dangerous and disturbing way.
Filled with Lynch's trademark surrealism, Blue Velvet is a twisted and haunting exploration of human darkness and desire.
