Wild at Heart: A Tribute to David Lynch
Director: David Lynch Run Time: 125 min. Rating: R Release Year: 1990
Starring: Crispin Glover, J.E. Freeman, Laura Dern, Nicolas Cage, Willem Dafoe
In tribute to virtuoso filmmaker David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet), Wild at Heart is an incendiary tale of love, violence and snakeskin jackets presented with his singular vision.
Adapted from the novel by Barry Gifford, Wild At Heart stars Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation) and Laura Dern (Inland Empire, Jurassic Park) as Sailor and Lula, a pair of young lovers on the run from Lula’s mother Marietta (Dern’s real-life mother Diane Ladd, in an Academy Award-nominated role). Sailor and Lula’s journey takes them into the dark heart of America, where dangers and temptations lurk … and where only their love can truly protect them. But even their all-consuming passion may not withstand the sinister presence of Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe in an unforgettable performance).
