Twin Peaks star took to social media today to celebrate his second project with director David Lynch and a movie that would prove a watershed moment for independent filmmaking in the late eighties and early nineties, the seminal art house feature, Blue Velvet. Although MacLachlan had worked with Lynch before on Dune, the first motion picture to adapt the Frank Herbert novel of the same name, it was Blue Velvet that would cement the pair’s working relationship which continues to this day.
Widely regarded as one of Lynch’s most important works, Blue Velvet is a Trojan horse of a film, an ostensible film noir murder thriller that actually peels back and exposes the seedy underbelly of an apparent suburban “paradise.” The film follows Jeffrey Beaumont, played by MacLachlan, a college student who returns to his hometown after his father suffers from a near-fatal seizure.
