Synopsis:

Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers on the run in David Lynch's surrealist road movie Wild at Heart. Cage's Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-convict with an Elvis Presley fixation who falls in love with Dern's Lula Pace Fortune, the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable, Southern belle named Marietta (Diane Ladd, Dern's real-life mother). Just after Sailor is released from prison, where he was jailed for brutally killing one of Marietta's thugs, he and Lula take off on a wild cross-country trip, pursued by his parole officer, her mother, criminals, bounty hunters, and detectives. Along the way, Sailor and Lula have a lot of sex, share their pasts, share their respective obsessions for Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, and meet a lot of bizarre characters, including a seedy ex-marine (Willem Dafoe) who persuades Sailor to participate in a bank robbery.

Barry Gifford's cult novel gets the David Lynch treatment, eliciting outstanding performances from an incredible cast of character-actors. An erotic, violent, disturbing, blackly-humorous road movie that confirmed David Lynch as one of the most startling and original film-maker of his generation. This twisted homage to The Wizard Of Oz takes Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern on one of the most bizarre journeys of all time, as they escape from the clutches of her evil mother and a bunch of hired assassins... Diane Ladd (mother of co-star, Laura Dern) was Oscar Nominated for her maniacal supporting turn as Marietta Fortune, but sadly she missed out to Whoopi Goldberg's performance in Ghost. However, Lynch did pick up the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival for his efforts.
