David Lynch’s 1986 classic Blue Velvet is getting the Criterion treatment this spring, as IndieWire notes. The new edition of the film includes numerous bonus features, most notably including The Lost Footage: a 51-minute assemblage of “deleted scenes and alternate takes“ from the movie. Lynch previously discussed the rediscovered material in a 2011 interview on KCRW: “It’s incredible,” he said at the time. “I’m seeing stuff I thought was gone forever.”
The director-approved edition of the film also includes the documentaries “Blue Velvet” Revisited and Mysteries of Love. It’s out May 28 on Blu-Ray and DVD.

Correction: A previous version of the story indicated that the Lost Footage feature included unseen footage. It has been previously released on a past physical edition of the film.
