AND I CAN STILL SEE BLUE VELVET THROUGH MY TEARS
Film Forum marks the 20th anniversary of the release of David Lynch's Blue Velvet with a two-week run of the film that starts this Friday. The movie is an examination of the dark underworld that lurks below the surface of a seemingly serene candy-colored town. Jeffrey Beaumont, played by Kyle McLachlan, returns home from college after his father is hospitalized to run the family's hardware store. When he finds a severed ear in a vacant lot, he reports it to the police and is drawn into a frightening alternate reality filled with psychotic and desperate characters. Jeffrey is a young man on the verge of adulthood forced to confront the depravity that exists in society that he was heretofore unware of. Dennis Hopper inhabits the role of the psychotic Frank Booth in one of his most memorable roles ever.
Film Forum is located at 209 West Houston St. in Manhattan.
