In this five-film retrospective on select Saturdays in November and December, NOMA invites audiences to look back at David Lynch’s on-screen creations and consider his early artistic influences. (All films are free to members; standard museum admission applies to non-members.)

ABOUT BLUE VELVET

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. Blue Velvet blends psychological horror with film noir and stars Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern. Lynch has called it a “film about things that are hidden—within a small city and within people.”
