30th Anniversary – BLUE VELVET Plays at The Moolah Beginning Friday

“I have your disease in me now.”

BLUE VELVET will be showing for one week beginning Friday, April 29th at the Moolah Theater

BLUE VELVET  is set in the quiet picture postcard logging community of Lumbertown. Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan), a somewhat naive and squeaky clean college boy, finds a severed human ear. Shocked and disturbed, he reports it immediately to the police while, with the help of his girlfriend (Laura Dern), he begins his own investigation, which soon leads him into stumbling into the seedy and violent world of abused nightclub singer Dorothy (Isabella Rosellini) and drug-sniffing psychopath (Dennis Hopper). BLUE VELVET is the first movie in which David Lynch really showed us all his cards and united themes and imagery, now familiar to millions through the likes of MULLHOLLAND DRIVE, WILD AT HEART and Twin Peaks. Now 30 years old, David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET has lost none of its shock value. It is still deeply and uniquely disturbing, at times incredibly surreal and utterly compelling viewing. Beautifully filmed and directed by Lynch, its aesthetic value is often deliberately at odds with the subject matter and it is a work of dark genius. It also features superb acting performances all round. In particular, MacLachlan, Rosselinni, Dean Stockwell and Laura Dern shine, but it is Dennis Hopper’s berserk performance as a drug sniffing twisted psychopath that most people remember.

Now it’s time to see BLUE VELVET on the big screen again. St. Louis’ The Moolah Theater (3821 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108) will showing the film for one week beginning Friday, April 29^th.
