Wild at Heart

Lula (Laura Dern) and Sailor (Nicolas Cage) embark on a twisted road trip, encountering personalities such as Rossellini’s Frida Kahlo–inspired Perdita Durango. “The characters in this film are the kind of strange souls that are more real in our dreams or nightmares than in reality,” says Rossellini. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Lynch’s “spectacularly decadent, Southern gothic movie….[is] flamboyantly violent and erotic; it’s also very funny” (Village Voice). 1990, U.S., color, 35mm, 124 minutes.
