![]() So, they travel across America meeting one weird person after the next, participating in weird dialogue and perforated by weird s*xual exploits (all of this totally normal for a David Lynch film!). Thus the film takes on a more murderous tone. ![]() He falls in love with a young – and kind of equally wild – seventeen year old (Lynch’s favourite leading lady, Laura Dern) and the two of them embark on a road trip across the wastelands of America – much to the disgust of Dern’s onscreen mother! In fact, rather than just posting a snotty comment on her Facebook status, she goes and hires some weird hitmen to ‘take care of the situation’ (if you know what I mean?). The film stars Nicholas Cage, who plays a young man with a – you guessed it – wild streak. Much of what you get from a David Lynch film is based on how it makes you feel, rather than the story it tells. For ‘Wild at Heart’ is quite a ‘typical’ David Lynch film, in that it’s narrative deliberately strays away from being particularly ‘linear’ and – in many cases – is open to interpretation as to what is actually going on in the story. I guess there’s probably three types of people when it comes to David Lynch films (1) People who love his work and find it unique, deep and a refreshing change from the Hollywood norm (2) People who find it a pretentious mess, lacking in any real story (3) People who say, “Who’s David Lynch?” If you fall into the third category then I guess that jumping into his 1990 film ‘Wild at Heart’ is as good as any place to start your journey into his twisted mind. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, Cannes Film Festival, Fantasporto Awards, Golden Globes, Oscar Academy Awards. Along the way, Sailor and Lula have a lot of sex, share their pasts, share their respective obsessions for Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, and meet a lot of bizarre characters, including a seedy ex-marine (Willem Dafoe) who persuades Sailor to participate in a bank robbery. Just after Sailor is released from prison, where he was jailed for brutally killing one of Marietta's thugs, he and Lula take off on a wild cross-country trip, pursued by his parole officer, her mother, criminals, bounty hunters, and detectives. Cage's Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-convict with an Elvis Presley fixation who falls in love with Dern's Lula Pace Fortune, the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable, Southern belle named Marietta (Diane Ladd, Dern's real-life mother). ![]() Netherlands released, Blu-Ray/Region A/B/C DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( DTS 5.1 ), English ( DTS-HD Master Audio ), German ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), German ( Dolby TrueHD ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby TrueHD ), Portuguese ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Portuguese ( Dolby TrueHD ), Russian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Russian ( Dolby TrueHD ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby TrueHD ), Danish ( Subtitles ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), English ( Subtitles ), Finnish ( Subtitles ), German ( Subtitles ), Italian ( Subtitles ), Norwegian ( Subtitles ), Polish ( Subtitles ), Portuguese ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), Swedish ( Subtitles ), Turkish ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers on the run in David Lynch's surrealist road movie Wild at Heart.
