The discovery of a severed human ear found in a field leads a young man on an investigation related to a beautiful, mysterious nightclub singer and a group of psychopathic criminals who have kidnapped her child.
Much happier working from his own script, Lynch delivered the film on time and within budget, without compromising his vision.Blue Velvet established the Lynchian style, introducing themes he would explore obsessively throughout much of his future career. With MacLachlan as his seemingly clean-cut alter ego, the former Eagle Scout from Missoula, Montana, probed the dark heart of small-town America.
Jeffrey Beaumont lives in a neighbourhood of white picket fences and manicured lawns, but when taking a short- cut home from visiting his hospitalised father, young Jeff finds a severed human ear. The model citizen takes said ear to the local police station but, though this satisfies his sense of civic duty, his innate curiosity is awakened and eager to know more.
As Jeffrey tells Sandy, the sweet-natured high school girl and daughter of local cop Detective Williams, "I believe there are opportunities in life for gaining knowledge and experience, but sometimes that means taking a risk."
Soon, this fresh-faced couple are conspiring to sneak into the apartment of nightclub chanteuse Dorothy Vallens, hoping to find clues that will help them solve the mystery: "Nobody would think two people like us would be crazy enough to do something like this," they cheerily decide.
In fact, Jeffrey's knowledge and experience arrives in the form of sadomasochistic sex with Dorothy and a life-threatening confrontation with her psychotic lover, Frank.
