When young college student Jeffrey (Kyle MacLachlan) stumbles across a severed ear after he returns to his home town, he is drawn into the dark underbelly of the town’s seemingly clean-cut suburbia. His developing relationship with the detective’s daughter, Sandy (Laura Dern), is compromised by his increasing fascination with the mysterious nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) who is engaged in an abusive relationship with the sadistic Frank (Dennis Hopper). Dark, subversive and surreal, this is a true Lynchian classic, not to be missed on the big screen. [18]
