![]() ![]() The scene where Willem Dafoe's evil, animalistic character seduces Laura Dern verbally is one of the most powerful scenes in film. But this movie is about Lynch's twisted desires and his desire to twist us as well. It is a "road picture" if you boil it down superficially. The story itself is about a couple whose love borders on an unhealthy obsession, and seems to be founded in pleasure more than spirit. ![]() ![]() His obsessions with Elvis, (impersonated or channeled by Nicholas Cage in an inspired performance) The Wizard of Oz, (the movie repeatedly references the classic both concretely and in symbolism) his desire to opress/victimize women, and the evil inside us all take center stage here the story becomes secondary. I'm not even sure I can say that this movie "entertained" me in the usual sense but I relished the experience. He indulges himself here, perhaps to an extreme. David Lynch is one of the few directors left who still expresses himself through his work he is one of the last true film artists. Most movies are about entertainment and telling a story this movie (like Blue Velvet before it) is about intense emotions, the darker side of the soul, and the warped mind of director David Lynch. It's hard for me to judge it the way I judge other movies it simply can't be put under the same standards. Lynch creates surrealist (and often bizarre) films that stay with you long after the screen goes black."Wild at Heart is less a movie and more a psychological journey. His acclaimed feature films – Eraserhead (1977), The Elephant Man (1980), Dune (1984), Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992), Lost Highway (1997), The Straight Story (1999), Mulholland Drive (2001), and Inland Empire (2006) – are characterized by his signature dream imagery and meticulous sound design. A recipient of an Academy Honorary Award in 2019, Lynch has received three Academy Award nominations for Best Director, and the César Award for Best Foreign Film twice, as well as the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and a Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival. David Lynch is an American filmmaker, painter, visual artist, musician, and writer. ![]()
