Season Main Programme

When a college student discovers a severed human ear lying in a field, he is launched on an unexpected investigation in David Lynch’s unforgettable and influential neo-noir classic.

Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) is home from college when he makes a grisly discovery. As a result, he and his friend Sandy (Laura Dern) are soon drawn into the warped orbit of lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and the unhinged thug Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).

Equal parts shocking and compelling, Lynch’s exploration of the psyche of small-town America features intense performances and hauntingly powerful imagery.

“An intensely ‘80s movie with an intensely ‘40s noir template…still inventive, sexy and bizarre.” The Guardian

QFT and David Lynch were made for each other. We mark his passing with a personal selection of some of his greatest films. Also screening: Lost Highway and The Straight Story.

Lost Highway

Perhaps one of David Lynch's most potent cinematic dreamscapes, Lost Highway is a mesmerising meditation on the mysterious nature of identity.

The Straight Story (35mm)

A personal favourite of QFT's programmer and screening from 35mm, David Lynch's The Straight Story is a lyrical portrait of one man's real journey across America's Heartland.
