Dune & Blue Velvet Box Set

Double bill of features from American film-maker David Lynch. 'Dune' (1984), an adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi novel, is set in the distant future on the barren desert planet Arrakis, aka Dune, where a precious life-enhancing spice is guarded by monster sandworms. Young nobleman Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan) leads his family and the native Freman people against the territorial designs of his family's arch-enemies, the Harkonnens. However, once on Dune, Paul discovers he is earmarked for an even greater destiny. In the mystery thriller 'Blue Velvet' (1986) MacLachlan stars as naive, young Jeffrey Beaumont who becomes involved in murder, voyeurism, sadomasochism and a terrifying evil after he discovers a severed ear in a deserted field. During his suburban investigation, Jeffrey becomes obsessed with nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini), a woman ensnared in a brutal relationship with psychopathic criminal Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
