‘Blue Velvet’
“Blue Velvet,” which opens at the Mid City tomorrow, is a David Lynch film which was nominated for two Academy Awards, and won top prizes in the United States National Society of Film Critics’ Awards. Set in a small American town, the film is a mystery involving four very different people: Jeffrey, the naive college student with a penchant for mysteries; Dorothy, the haunting cabaret singer with a
dark and deadly secret; Sandy, the detective’s innocent daughter; and Frank, the psychotic killer fueled by sexual fantasies. The film’s painful realism reminds us we are not immune to the disturbing events which transpire in “Blue Velvet’s” sleepy community. There is a darker side of life waiting for us all. “Blue Velvet” stars Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini and Dennis Hopper.
