David Lynch takes us on another surreal journey with
Wild At Heart, starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as Sailor and Lula, two lovers who go on the run, much to the dislike of Lula's mother who hires an array of strange characters to hunt
down and kill Sailor.
Like Lynch's other works, you probably need to be a
fan of his works to truly appreciate it, and even if you are it's something you need to really be in the mood for.
The soundtrack alone is worth a listen
to.
