There’s something going on behind the white picket fences of Lumberton, North Carolina. And after stumbling upon a severed human ear in a field, mystery-loving college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) is determined to find out what.
Teaming up with Sandy Williams (Laura Dern), the daughter of a local police detective, Jeffrey’s investigation leads him into a strange world of sensuality and violence – with the intrigue of the missing ear seemingly stemming from the relationship between a troubled nightclub singer and a sociopathic sadomasochist.
This 1986 masterpiece from the master of dreamlike cinema, David Lynch, is a chillingly atmospheric inversion of utopian Americana, starring beloved Lynch stalwarts Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern alongside an utterly terrifying Dennis Hopper.
