Blue Velvet (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD]

Description

Home from college, Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) makes an unsettling discovery: a severed human ear, lying in a field. In the mystery that follows, by turns terrifying and darkly funny, writer-director David Lynch burrows deep beneath the picturesque surfaces of small-town life. Driven to investigate, Jeffrey finds himself drawing closer to his fellow amateur sleuth, Sandy Williams (Laura Dern), as well as their person of interest, lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini)—and facing the fury of Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), a psychopath who will stop at nothing to keep Dorothy in his grasp. With intense performances and hauntingly powerful scenes and images, Blue Velvet is an unforgettable vision of innocence lost, and one of the most influential American films of the late twentieth century.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, supervised and approved by director David LynchOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAlternate original 2.0 surround soundtrackThe Lost Footage, fifty-three minutes of deleted scenes and alternate takes assembled by Lynch“Blue Velvet” Revisited, a feature-length meditation on the making of the movie by Peter Braatz, filmed on set during the productionMysteries of Love, a seventy-minute documentary from 2002 on the making of the filmInterview from 2017 with composer Angelo BadalamentiIt’s a Strange World: The Filming of “Blue Velvet,” a 2019 documentary featuring interviews with crew members and visits to the shooting locationsLynch reading from Room to Dream, a 2018 book he coauthored with Kristine McKennaEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: Excerpts by McKenna from Room to Dream
