With its good and wicked witches, and references to Toto and the yellow brick road, David Lynch’s WILD AT HEART is an overt, elaborate homage to The Wizard of Oz by way of Bonnie and Clyde. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, Wild at Heart is Lynch’s first all-out comedy, but despite the prevailing tone of aggressive absurdity, it contains some of the filmmaker’s most harrowing scenes.

Young lovers Sailor (Nicholas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) hit the road to start a new life together away from the wrath of Lula’s deranged, disapproving mother, who has hired a team of hitmen to cut the lovers’ surreal honeymoon short.
