Open Air | Wild at Heart
Deeply sexual, splendidly grotesque, violent, but also romantic road movie about a couple in love trying to stay out of the hands of a hit man. Winner of the Golden Palm in Cannes.
When Sailor is released from prison, he immediately goes to see his beloved Lula. In a T-bird convertible they head to California. Lula’s hysterical mother goes crazy at the thought of Lula with Sailor, and hires both a private detective and a contract killer to hunt them down. On their wild journey, Lula and Sailor meet a wide variety of weirdos, including an unforgettable Willem Dafoe as the hideous Bobby ‘just like the country’ Peru. The film contains tons of pop-cultural references, with constant allusions in the film pertaining to The Wizard Of Oz.
Wild At Heart is one of the most accessible and entertaining films from David Lynch: a wickedly funny and rivetingly erotic road movie, featuring Nicolas Cage as an Elvis-acolyte in a snakeskin jacket.
