DAVID LYNCH: NEO-GOTHIC SLEEPWALKER

 

 David Lynch lets the Nicolas Cage tiger loose in this sexy, hot, and seriously effed up Neo-Gothic romantic crime thriller.

"This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top."

Laura Dern's Lula tells her worldview as if it were a theme line written in stone.

Romantic fire burns hot between Nicolas Cage's Sailor and Lula as they run from and toward people who want Sailor dead.

Lula's mother, Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd), is a real piece of work.

Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rossellini, Willem Dafoe, Crispin Glover, and Jack Nance all give inspired performances in an ensemble piece like none other.

Rock 'n' Roll baby.

Pure surges of cinematic energy pours through "Wild At Heart," just as the title promises. Bad omens.

"Wild At Heart" is a remarkable film by any standard. What fun.

It won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1990. Cheers!

Rated R. 125 mins.
