until they witness a young woman dying after a car accident - a bad omen. Unaware of this, the two enjoy their journey and themselves being together. However their mother hires a killer to hunt down Sailor. Ignoring Sailor's probation, they set out for California. Lula's psychopathic mother goes crazy at the thought of Lula being with Sailor, who just got free from jail. Incidentally, Lynch's groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks debuted later this same year, and many of that show's actors can be seen in small parts here.Wild at Heart is a 1990 American film written and directed by David Lynch, and based on Barry Gifford's 1989 pulp novel Wild at Heart: The Story of Sailor and Lula. But for the majority of the movie, Lynch's touch works, and provides a strange, entertaining ride.

Lynch also includes some moments of plain weirdness, such as a man talking with a high-pitched voice and another man ( Jack Nance, of Eraserhead) speaking in odd riddles, which only calls attention to itself. Yet Lynch seems to have let his artistic id take over a bit too often, obsessing on both The Wizard of Oz and Elvis Presley, and trying to shoehorn references into the movie whenever possible - whether they fit or not. Even if they have been the victims of bad luck and made some bad choices, they are worth rooting for, and Cage and Dern are terrific in their roles (especially Dern, whose physicality in this movie is striking).

In their scenes together, they seem to truly appreciate each other's nuances and to respect one another. At its core, Wild at Heart is a pretty simple, very good lovers-on-the-run film noir Sailor and Lula are super-cool yet sympathetic characters whose love is never in doubt. David Lynch's adaptation of Barry Gifford's novel contains much of his trademark powerful, nightmarish imagery, even if it also appears that he might have been grasping at straws at times.
