Wild At Heart is one of those films that scoops you up and plants you directly in its own magical, twisted little world as soon as it starts and drops you back on boring old planet earth at the end feeling like you've just woken from a dream. At least that's the effect it had on me the first few times I saw it, and seeing it again last night for the first time in years the same is true, in fact it's possibly even better than I remembered. I can't be bothered to go into plot and character details, suffice to say that everyone involved gives top notch performances, and the story is deep enough to be engaging without being confusing. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, occasionally terrifying, but always deliciously deranged, Wild At Heart is quite possibly one of the ten greatest pieces of cinema ever created in my opinion. I'm not even a massive David Lynch fan - in fact this is the only Lynch movie I've felt the need to watch more than once - however this one is a sublime, darkside masterpiece that blows away the competition. Give it a try.
