Wild at Heart

Leaving August 31 • 2h 5m

Directed by David Lynch • 1990 • United States
Starring Laura Dern, Nicolas Cage, Willem Dafoe

David Lynch throws pulp melodrama, THE WIZARD OF OZ, surreal-kinky violence, and Elvis into a cauldron and brews this nightmarish soap opera in which outlaw lovers Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) go on the run through a menacing South populated by a host of sinister weirdos, played by the likes of Willem Dafoe, Crispin Glover, Diane Ladd, Isabella Rossellini, and Harry Dean Stanton. Adapted from the noir novel by Barry Gifford, WILD AT HEART is Lynch at both his far-out freakiest and most deliriously romantic.
