Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) came back home from college, after his father had a stroke. Jeffrey thought his hometown was "perfect", but found out it is less than what it seems. Jeffrey found a human ear, and decided to take it to Detective John Williams (George Dickerson), where he met and starting hanging out the detectives daughter, Sandy (Laura Dern). She informs him of strange rumors about a lady that lives in this apartment building. The two decide to plot a way to get into her apartment. Jeffrey dresses up as an exterminator, who needs to spray the apartment. His intentions was to open a window, but once inside the apartment, he finds a spare key.
Sandy and Jeffrey go to the Slow Club, where they see Dorothy (Isabella Rossellini) sing. Of course, she was singing the title of the movie, "Blue Velvet". Sandy and Jeffrey decided to go back to her apartment (knowing she was at work). Sandy stayed in the car and told Jeffrey she'd honk 3 times, if she came home early. Drinking at the club, made Jeffrey have to pee. Sandy of course honked, when the toilet was flushing. Jeffrey heard the door opening, and ran into the closet. Dorothy caught Jeffrey, holding a knife threatening him, making him strip all the way down to his boxers, and seduced him.
There was a knock on the door, Dorothy sent Jeffrey back to the closet, and answered the door. It was Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), a man who kidnapped Dorothy's husband and son and is forcing himself onto Dorothy, sexually. He takes her blue robe, and stuffs the robes strap in her mouth and he pounds in her. He slaps her a few times, and then sucks on some kind of mask.

Jeffrey watches, in horror through the closet. Once Frank was done, he left and Dorothy went and pursued sex with Jeffrey. She asks him to hit her, and refuses then she asks him to leave. He gets up, and then she asks him to stay. Dorothy is a very broken and has been put into this perverted world of being a sex toy, that any man that she's around, she's submissive, and helpless.
The movie is soooo f'd up! Laura Dern is the worst actress ever! Her portrayal was awful! I actually laughed out loud because her facial expression are ridiculous and over the top (especially the scene where Dorothy is beaten and naked and in Sandy's house).
The movie gets more messed up, and I actually can't remember most of it, because so much happened. This movie deserves to be on the list of 1,001 movies you must see before you die because it is not like any other movie that's ever been produced. With the kidnapping, rape, breaking and entering, murder, romance between Sandy and Jeffrey, sex between Dorothy and Jeffrey, what the hell's wrong with Frank, who's ear was removed, plus the mystery of where's Dorothy's husband and son are. This movie is ingrained in my mind because it's memorable. It's not a movie I'll ever watch again, but it's a part of movie cinema history for a reason.
