"This whole world’s wild at heart and weird on top."—Lula Fortune


David Lynch’s follow-up to Blue Velvet is an incendiary tale of love, violence, and snakeskin jackets. 

Adapted from the novel by Barry Gifford, Wild at Heart stars Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as Sailor and Lula, a pair of young lovers on the run from Lula's mother Marietta (Dern's real-life mother Diane Ladd, in an Academy Award-nominated role). Sailor and Lula's journey takes them into the dark heart of America, where dangers and temptations lurk...and where only their love can truly protect them. But even their all-consuming passion may not withstand the sinister presence of Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe in an unforgettable performance). Wild at Heart took the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival.
