The next installment in our series on David Lynch was made shortly after the booming popularity of the premiere of Twin Peaks. WILD AT HEART, based on a book by Barry Gifford, tells the story of Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern), two exuberant and impulsive lovers who set out on a cross-country trek fleeing an array of strange characters who are all trying to kill Sailor on behalf of Lula's mother Marrieta (Diane Ladd).
Although carrying some key signature aspects of Lynch's work, Wild at Heart was unconventional as a subject for Lynch. Its merits remain widely debated to this day, even by us this week as we're joined by Lindsey Dunn and new friend of the FoG Steve Barnes. There's a reckless quality to this story, fitting for its main characters, that paints a difficult picture of a world that's "wild at heart and weird on top."
We have a blast talking about this truly unique film and we really hope you enjoy our conversation.
