About the Film: Returning home from college, Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) stumbles upon a severed human ear in a field, unravelling a dark mystery beneath the seemingly idyllic surface of small-town life. As Jeffrey’s investigation draws him into the orbit of lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and the terrifying Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), writer-director David Lynch crafts a haunting exploration of innocence lost. With unforgettable performances and striking visuals, Blue Velvet remains a defining work of surrealist cinema.

But when a powerful syndicate boss (Robert Prosky) pulls him into a dangerous heist, Frank must decide what he’s willing to risk for freedom. Featuring a mesmerizing electronic score by Tangerine Dream and stunning cinematography by Donald Thorin, Thief is a gripping, atmospheric crime thriller.
