In a cruel, creepy, crumbling world, the romance of Sailor and Lula at the core of Wild At Heart is the bright sun that a galaxy of eccentric characters revolve around in David Lynch's signature film. Bizarre, absurd, surreal and extremely violent, the film weaves a canvas of classic love story, Wizard of Oz and Natural Born Killers (another great messed-up romance) that will stick in your mind forever - with its extreme characters, brain scrambling soundtrack and memorable images.
From its shocking opening to its beautiful Elvis-fuelled climax, Wild at Heart never puts a foot wrong. Outside of Twin Peaks and Frank from Blue Velvet, Lynch has yet to create a more wonderful, rounded, set of characters that will get under your skin and stay with you like a nightmare tattoo. It's impossible to imagine anyone other than Nicolas Cage as Sailor Ripley, the coolest - if not smartest - man on Earth or Willem Dafoe as his nemesis, the dark angel of death Bobby Peru.
For an archetypal Lynch film, the plot of Wild at Heart, inspired by Barry Gifford's great book, is quite straight forward and very romantic, which makes it more accessible to the general public - well, those with strong stomachs - who want to cruise along this particular highway and taste life on the 'wild' side!
