David Lynch's 1990 iWild at Heart/i is an utterly random and ugly experience with pockets of startling imagery and inspired set pieces. Based on a Barry Gifford novel, the film stars Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as lovers on the lam whose relationship is tested and who meet some truly dangerous wackos (including an almost-simian Willem Dafoe). Lynch's thoughts seem to be everywhere, and he expects the audience to keep up with a story that seems more a collection of avant-garde whims than a coherent vision with the intuitive brilliance of his iBlue Velvet/i. Cage gives one of his more chaotic performances, but then he was just reading Lynch's signposts. I--Tom Keogh/I

 David Lynch's violent adaptation of the Wizard of Oz May 26, 2004

Wild at Heart is David Lynch's violent adaptation of the Wizard of Oz with mesmerizing cinematography, which offers an exceptionally artistic cinema experience. Many scenes are visually packed as they offer much to ponder since they are often surrealistic or full of symbolism. The symbolism and surreal environment enhance the fantastic adventure into love, passion, and righteousness that Lynch provides for his audience. The tale begins with Sailor (Nicolas Cage) who was sent to jail for manslaughter as he killed a man in self-defense that was sent by his girlfriends neurotic mother. Released on probation Sailor is free and loving as he can reunite with his girlfriend Lula (Laura Dern) despite Lula's mothers opposition to their relationship. Lula's defiance upsets her mother who hires another hitman to slay Sailor. However, Lula and Sailor decide to take off to California and break Sailor's probation by following the yellow line on the road to the promise land.

David Lynch is a great filmmaker, the Samuel Beckett of cinema, but he is a terrible storyteller. His images and mindscapes are some of the most fascinating visuals put on film, ever, but they never seem to add up to much, especially in this movie.pWhere as Lost Highway, leaves you with a mind-bending mystery to uncover, and Mulholland Drive, leaves you forever creeped out by its climax, Wild at Heart does neither. Rather it gives a million and one teases of possible things to happen, and doesn't deliver on any of them. There are so many loose ends, and halfway developed characters and ideas, stuff that leads nowhere, or is left behind two thirds of the way through, when the film begins to focus solely on Lula trapped in a ratty motel, smelling of puke. pIf you want to watch films that handle this movie's themes more properly, watch True Romance, for the crazy, on the road love story, and Freeway, for the surreal, reworked, and severely disturbing fairy tale.pDon't get me wrong, as a visual artist, Lynch is an unmatched genius, and his efforts to turn absolutely nothing into a movie merits acknowledgement, but ultimately, his movies never add up to much more than a showcase for his talent. They are incoherent, absurd messes that critics praise simply because they feel like it is above their heads. The truth is, nobody knows what a David Lynch movie is about except for MAYBE Lynch himself.pAll in all, for a better Lynch experience, watch, Lost Highway, and then Mulholland Drive, they at least give you something to think about.
Lynch's Best ... period June 15, 2003

I've seen David's films ... This is the finest of them all. Straight Story, Elephant Man, Blue Velvet are all wonderful in there own way but this one stands alone at the pinnacle. Some won't get it or like it ... this isn't standard Hollywood fare and some parts aren't pretty but what a wild dreamlike ride. Crispen Glover's small part is over the top and Dafoe's character will haunt you. Films this imaginitive are very rare ... especially today...
