We’re All Connected

There is a world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture.

The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a thirteen year-old girl, discovers how closely the two worlds are linked when she receives an e-mail from the dead girl: “I just abandoned my body. I still live here…” Has the line between the real world and the wired world begun to blur?

Pabst Blue Ribbon:

The Most Talked About Film Of The Decade

No film in recent history has generated more praise or more controversy than Blue Velvet. Director David Lynch (Eraser Head, The Elephant Man, and Dune) takes you on a surreal journey that peeks through the windows and over the well-trimmed hedges of a small town to discover murder, mystery and perversion. His hero (Kyle MacLachlan) finds a severed ear whose trail leads him to a detective’s daughter (Laura Dern) and a mesmerizing beauty (Isabella Rossellini) with a terrible secret. Dennis Hopper’s ferocious performance as the sadistic villain is already legendary. Disturbing, astounding and sometimes oddly comic, Blue Velvet is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before; one touch and you’ll never be the same.
