Directed by Dennis Hopper • 1980 • United States
Starring Linda Manz, Dennis Hopper, Sharon Farrell

Dennis Hopper’s hurricane-force domestic tragedy is the ’80s answer to EASY RIDER, following troubled youth subculture to its frightening, screaming, self-annihilating extreme. Just out of prison for drunk-driving his truck into a school bus, delinquent dad Don (Dennis Hopper) returns home to the planet’s most messed up family: heroin-addict wife Kathy (Sharon Farrell) and self-destructive, Elvis Presley– and Sid Vicious–obsessed rebel-punk daughter Cebe (Linda Manz), whose mantra is “disco sucks, kill all hippies.” Driven by the teenage Manz’s stunningly raw performance, OUT OF THE BLUE—presented here in a new 4K restoration—has lost none of the furiously nihilistic power that shocked audiences upon its premiere.
