Joltingly violent, wickedly funny and rivetingly erotic. Full Review

...Nicholas Cage may be the most high-flying actor in the movies right now. He's the perfect performer for Lynch...

Rating: 5/5 -- Lynch brings forth a world where evil and weirdness coexist, the two being these obstacles that arise in the way of a romance unlike any other. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- A perverse, violent, nutso depiction of romance that even Bonnie and Clyde would shrug off as too hardcore for them. Full Review

Ranked #4 in Uncut's Best DVDs Of 2005 -- David Lynch's audacious 1990 pop-noir road movie starts in Cape Fear and ends near Oz.

Rating: 4/5 -- Though Miss Dern and Mr. Cage are constantly upstaged by the rest of the movie, they triumph.
New York Times

Rating: 2.5/4 -- I enjoyed it more back in 1990, though I'd be hard-pressed to recall exactly why -- viewing it now, it's only a marginally satisfying experience, with some potent set-pieces diluted by an almost juvenile predilection on Lynch's part. Full Review

Product Description:

In adapting Barry Gifford's colorful novel, David Lynch delivers another jolt of adrenaline to unsuspecting viewers everywhere. WILD AT HEART follows the troubled romance of Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern), two lovers who struggle to remain together even when fate seems intent on keeping them apart. In this case, fate is Lula's mother, Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd), a desperate woman who hates Sailor and will do anything to keep him away from her daughter. After Sailor is released from prison for murdering a man--albeit in self-defense--he and Lula embark on a sex-filled, rocking road trip, aware that they are being hunted by one of Marietta's cronies. When they pull off the road in order to hide out in a small trailer park, Sailor befriends Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), an incredibly intense war veteran with a rotten set of teeth. Bobby convinces Sailor to help him rob a bank, much to Lula's objections (for she has discovered that she is pregnant). Sailor must decide if he wants to go straight and be there for his child or remain under Bobby's influence and risk returning to jail. Lynch's raucous film contains his trademark visual style, over-the-top dialogue, and pulsating soundtrack, creating another truly distinct picture.
