We launch SFPL's 100 Years of Surrealism film series with a screening of director David Lynch's Blue Velvet, a stunning example of Surrealism's influence in American cinema. In Lynch's dreamlike, subversive film the discovery of a severed human ear leads a young man to investigate a beautiful, mysterious nightclub singer and the psychopathic criminals who kidnapped her child.
"Brilliant and unsettling...this is the work of an all-American visionary--and a master film stylist." --Stephen Schiff, Vanity Fair
R, 120 mins., 1986. Closed captions (CC) in English.
