“This is a snakeskin jacket. And for me it’s a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.”

Adapted from Barry Gifford’s novel, David Lynch’s Palme d’Or-winning Wild at Heart sends Sailor and Lula—Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern—tearing across the American South in a delirious lovers-on-the-run romance fueled by Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, sex, violence, and pure outlaw conviction.

Their escape from Lula’s violently possessive mother (Diane Ladd) leads through a landscape of hit men, roadside grotesques, heavy metal, seedy motels, and sudden bursts of nightmare. Along the way they cross paths with Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rossellini, and Willem Dafoe as the unforgettable Bobby Peru.

At once tender, lurid, funny, and unhinged, Wild at Heart is one of the clearest cinematic expressions of Gifford’s world: doomed lovers, dangerous drifters, criminal underworlds, and a distinctly American dream curdling at the edges.
