“What are you doing in my closet, Jeffrey Beaumont?” David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET, Restored for Thirtieth Anniversary Screenings.

May 25, 2016 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

BVposterThere’s something going on behind the white picket fences of Lumberton, North Carolina. And after stumbling upon a severed human ear in a field, mystery loving college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) is determined to find out what. Teaming up with the daughter (Laura Dern) of a local police detective, Jeffrey’s investigation leads him into a strange world of sensuality and violence, with the intrigue of the missing ear seemingly stemming from the relationship between a troubled nightclub singer (Isabella Rossellini) and a sociopathic sadomasochist (Dennis Hopper).

See BLUE VELVET on the big screen June 1st at the Claremont, Playhouse, NoHo or Monica Film Center to celebrate the 30th anniversary of David Lynch’s masterpiece of a sleepy small-town caught in the grips of the American nightmare.

“Still enraptures and confounds. Three decades after its initial release, David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET has lost none of its power to derange, terrify, and exhilarate.” – Melissa Anderson, Village Voice

#TheDialoguePolice
In Sweden, people have a right to freedom of expression, and the dialogue police are there to protect that right. Created in the wake of 2001 anti-EU protests in Gothenburg, where police shot three protesters, the unit is tasked with managing relationships with demonstrators to prevent violence (rather than reacting to it) and to de-escalate effectively, when necessary.
