Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet is terrifying, seductive and ahead of its time ” Nicholas Barber BBC

Dreaming through the darkness with a damm fine cup of coffee. Thornbury Picture House pays tribute to David Lynch, a radical explorer of nightmares whose eternal work strains against the limits of comprehension. Come peer with us into the Lynchian void.

David Lynch crafted this hallucinogenic mystery-thriller that probes beneath the cheerful surface of suburban America to discover sadomasochistic violence, corruption, drug abuse, crime and perversion.

Kyle Maclachlan stars as Jeffrey Beaumont, a square-jawed young man who is soon drawn into a dangerous drama that’s being played out by a lounge singer, Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and the ether-addicted Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
