Heineken lovers can once again feel the wrath of Frank Booth. The "Blue Velvet" Special Edition DVD contains the cleanest (visually, certainly not thematically) print of David Lynch's revolting Americana.

Even at his most coherent, Lynch's asthetics are off-putting and often jarring. The superior picture and sound quality showcase the care Lynch takes in each shot; How he creates madness from perfection.

Jeffery Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) is home from college to help his family after his father's heart attack. After finding an ear in a field, Jeffery gets involved (through a little peeping tommery) with lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini).

Vallens is tortured and forced to induldge the sexual fantasies of local drug dealer/maniac Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper, who gives the performance of his career), who has kidnapped her son and husband. Violence, red curtains and Dean Stockwell lipsinking Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" into a work-light follow.

The DVD also includes a wonderful documentary, "Mysteries of Love," which contains new interviews with Hopper, MacLachlan, Laura Dern and Rossellini, as well as archive footage of Lynch.

The DVD case claims the disc contains a "deleted scenes montage," which is simply production stills from deleted scenes set to music. The original scenes (nearly two hours worth) were lost years ago and probably destroyed. This is a rather weak inclusion, but doesn't take away from the fine film or the presentation it has so long deserved.
