The greatest aspects in the screenplay are in fact the delicious side-chapters that are told without absolute necessity. Unlike the previous Blue Velvet, I feel like the plot and development of Wild at Heart is a bit inferior to the wonderful photography. The structure remains chronological and quite easy to follow. Yet, I feel like Wild at Heart might be Lynch's most accessible film (outside The Elephant Man and The Straight Story). As usually, Lynch introduces a bunch of wicked individuals in his film who're all messed up in the head pretty bad. I challenge you to find one personality in this film that could be referred to as a normal human being'. I knew a boomer Lynch fan who thought that was one of the greatest lines in Hollywood history smh.The most creative and controversial director in cinema is back with a road-movie! Wild at Heart is one rough roller coaster ride and a typical Lynch-cocktail of violence, sex and of course bizarre characters. That’s not limited to (but symbolized by) the f*ggot line which was never cool and aged like milk. Whatever archetype he was going for… he seemed more pretentious and insufferable (exactly how I found Michael Cera’s acting in The Return). Primarily I think Cage’s portrayal just really didn’t work for me. But somehow I set that aside when ranking the film. While I deride it, I simultaneously say it has a contender for Lynch’s best scene ever (willem Defoe “fuck me”). Does anyone really think it should be his highest-decorated film?! Not that establishment award ceremonies ever matter…ĭon’t kill me but at the time my reaction was “Baz Luhrman does David Lynch” and not in a good way □ I’m quite annoyed that’s the film that won Palme d’or for him. It’s been years and I owe it a re-watch, but I remember being disappointed.
