Wild at Heart (1990)
6/10
Desperate love on the run.
21 April 2000
Director David Lynch excels at the weird magic he weaves. A love starved young woman is on the run with a paroled murderer. A psycho mother puts a private eye and a deranged hit man on their trail. Some scenes are hard to watch; and then there are those typical Lynch scenes that you still don't know what the hell you saw. Very wicked soundtrack featuring Chris Isaak and Gene Vincent.

Nicolas Cage is infatuated with Elvis. Laura Dern is down right NASTY. Willem Dafoe, definitely bizarre. Diane Ladd is way over the edge. Crispin Glover is clever as a cabbage. Harry Dean Stanton always seems to be at ease being clueless. Sherilyn Fenn, a waste of beauty to play a corpse. The erotic, violent and irreverent script is what holds this cast together.

David Lynch fans get everything they could expect and then some.
