In true Lynch fashion, this is a movie where anything can happen – and it usually does. Wild at Heart is a film that is as scary as it is sexy, thanks in large part to its compelling leads and a supporting cast full of oddballs (many played by Twin Peaks regulars on hiatus). The pair are crazy in love and on the run from a group of killers dispatched by Lula’s insane mother. Produced and released at the height of Twin Peaks mania, Lynch’s 1990 crime thriller follows two lovers, Sailor Ripley (Nicholas Cage) and Lula Pace Fortune (Laura Dern), on a surreal road trip through the American south. The filmmaker has thoroughly explored themes of love and obsession in one twisted way or another over the course of his career, but there’s one Lynch film in particular – Wild at Heart – that concerns itself above others with that tempestuous, untamable thing Cash sang about. It’s also a sentiment that will be familiar to fans of director David Lynch. It’s the perfect metaphor and one that anyone who’s fallen for someone can easily relate to. Definitely it would be the worst movie for those interested in entering Lynch's filmography, although fans of the director will not only know what to expect from this feature-length film, but will also see his most ambitious, grotesque, sublime, and deliciously confusing and impenetrable work.In his hit 1963 ballad “Ring of Fire”, singer Johnny Cash famously refers to love as a “burnin’ thing”. The result is a challenging three-hour footage that follows a similar line to 'Por el lado oscuro del camino' ('Lost Highway') and 'Sueños, misterios y secretos' ('Mulholland Drive') -unofficially forming the 'Trilogía de Los Ángeles'-, interweaving various nightmarish stories whose relationships between them are abstract at best, filmed in digital video format that exalts its delirious aesthetics. It is also David Lynch in his most "lynchian" mode, offering here what appears to be a story of an actress (Laura Dern) who, when submitting to filming the remake of an unfinished and supposedly cursed movie, gradually loses her contact with reality. David Lynch 2006 With totally and absolutely surreal aspirations that discard all traditional narrative logic, 'El imperio' ('Inland Empire') is, so far, the last feature-length film by David Lynch ('Eraserhead').
