Blue velvet (1986)

After a little too fast evolution, David Lynch will fall down very low because of Dune. Moreover this film will leave him some after-effects (it will not have the final cut, and the production will go up its film). Thus the life will be a little harder to him in the world of the cinema.

Projects as " Ronnie Rocket " will not be born. But Dino de Laurentiis will give him its chance. With a reduced budget (5 million dollars) and a total artistic freedom, David Lynch will carry out Blue velvet, a thriller which will be turned in Wilmington in North Carolina.

 

Finally we find in this film the very personal ingredients of Lynch: " an old phantasm attacked me for a long time, says it. I always dreamed to slip to me into the room of a girl to watch for her in secrecy all the night ". This film introduces to us Kyle Mac Lachlan (future Dale Cooper) who interprets Jefrrey Beaumont... This one is going to see his father who had a heart failure, and he finds in his path an ear!

After having carried it to the police, he will meet the daughter of the inspector, and with her, he will discover the hidden face of Lumberton: sex, drug. Dennis Hopper incarnes here a gangster who represents violence in a pure state, who will involve Jeffrey in many tours.

David Lynch will find in his team the head operator Fred Elmes and the person in charge of the sound effects Alan Splet who have both worked with him since Eraserhead. After this film, Angelo Badalamenti will follow Lynch in all his works to create an original tape which always tallies with films of Lynch.

Summary of film: It is in the small town of Lumberton that Jeffrey discovers a cut ear in a waste ground while going to see his hospitalized father. Jeffrey decides to bring this ear to the inspector Williams... Her daughter meets Jeffrey one evening and says to him that this discovery has a possible relationship with the singer Dorothy Vallens... It is here that Jeffrey will discover the hidden face of the city.
