Jeffrey Beaumont discovers something strange in a field near his parents' home; his desire to understand its origins leads him into a murky, suburban dream gone awry. What unfolds drags the viewer to a place most of us pretend doesn't exist. Often unsettling, always powerful, the film is an unfurled canvas depicting a surrealist landscape that is both analogous to reality and surreptitiously real. When Blue Velvet makes you feel afraid, remember this: scratch the surface of anything shiny and you’ll likely find something less appealing underneath. The shine isn't merely an illusion, it’s one facet of the larger whole.

One of my favorite movies of all time. It's dark and twisted but exquisitely beautiful, and there's something about it that really resonates with me.

It's wonderfully dark. Frank makes me uneasy, not just in 'that scene' but throughout. Wiggins.
