Blue Velvet (1986) 4K UHD + Blu-Ray | Criterion Collection

In Blue Velvet, David Lynch’s 1986 masterpiece, the seemingly idyllic small-town life of Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) unravels when he discovers a severed human ear. What follows is a dark, twisted journey into the underbelly of suburban America. With a haunting mix of terror, humor, and mystery, the film explores innocence lost through Jeffrey’s investigation, which leads him into the tangled lives of lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and the violent, unhinged Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper). One of the most influential films of the late twentieth century, Blue Velvet is an unforgettable dive into obsession and depravity.
