Sailor (good period Nicolas Cage in a role that would absolutely not surprise you) is in love with Lula (Laura Dern). Essentially, it’s a road picture but the journey to get there is filled with sex, murder, and plenty of weirdness. Just what in the fuck was I watching here?īased on Barry Gifford’s 1990 book Wild at Heart: The Story of Sailor and Lula, Lynch’s film is a clusterfuck of the strange. I was repelled and, yet, giddy at the same time. Like Blue Velvet, I sat there in the dark, completely stunned at what I was seeing on the screen. I saw Wild at Heart at the theatre when it originally came out. I’m the lucky one who gets to talk about Wild at Heart.
We at TFS are writing about our favorite Lynch films in the run up to the premiere of the new Twin Peaks. I can mark my time on Earth as a film fan as pre- Blue Velvet or post- Blue Velvet, and for this, I am forever grateful to him. I’d been going to the movies all my life, sure, but you…it’s like you popped my film-going cherry. You changed my whole world when I saw Blue Velvet as a young teen. from "The Wizard of Oz." But I can tell you, my dog is always with me. Mentally you picture my dog, but I have not told you the type o' dog which I have.
