WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
After
his release from prison for
manslaughter the psychotic
Sailor (Nicholas Cage) and his
girlfriend Lula (Laura Dern)
leaves New Orleans for
California (and quickly
violating his parole in the
process), becoming stranded in
Big Tuna, Texas the couple find
themselves targeted by a hit man
sent to kill Sailor by Lula’s
deranged mother (Diane Ladd).
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
David
Lynch’s follow up to Blue Velvet is a full on wild ride of a movie
that takes no prisoners. Not an easy watch, full of graphic violence,
sick imagery, full of bravura performances from the Lynch repertory
company with Cage being the stand out, edgy, psychotic and decidedly
unpredictable; Laura Dern meanwhile does her standard Southern Belle bit
as the troubled Lula.
A
road movie with an insane heart that in typically Lynch fashion may or
may not be taking itself seriously and once seen its hard to forget.
Wild at Heart will either have you on your knees in praise of the master
film-maker or covering your eyes in disgust (especially during the
decapitation scene). Either way Wild at Heart should remain on
everyone’s must see list.
