The love scenes manage to be steamy, sensual, funny and endearing. They leave the club, go home and share a few nice romps. Everyone is into it and honestly so am I. Next, the film goes full Lynch! Sailor takes the mic and sings Elvis Presley’s Love Me (Treat Me Like a Fool) as Lula eats it up and fans can be heard screeching. The intensity between the two is felt by the viewer at home. It doesn’t matter that they’ve screwed a thousand times before, the want in both of them is still fever-pitch. On the dance floor, their energetic lust is palpable. She’s on-board immediately, but before leaving they stop at a club. He plans to leave town and take her away. Together, he and Lula share remarkable heat. He wants to tell her the truth about Marietta, but cares too much to do it. He has a narcissistic grandiose personality, but he wears it so well. She has some residual scars from childhood trauma, but her and Sailor balance each other out.
Meanwhile Sailor and Lula are hitting hotels and enjoying their reunion. Not satisfied with that type of resolution, she hires people to kill Sailor. He does his best, but is a diplomatic gent. She works her beau Johnnie (Harry Dean Stanton) up by batting her eyes. Marietta tries to put a wrench in the affair every chance she gets. Ripley goes to jail, but the moment he’s out Lula runs to him with his snakeskin jacket in hand. Really, it was the other way around and there’s another secret the two share involving the death of Lula’s father.Īt the party, Sailor is charged by a guest with a knife and in self-defense he kills the assailant. She lies and says that Sailor tried to fuck her in the bathroom. She doesn’t want Lula dating him and she’ll do anything to stop it. Marietta is wealthy and she hates Sailor. The film begins with Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) with his gal Lula (Laura Dern) at a party hosted by her mother Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd). WILD AT HEART showcases Nic Cage at his craziest, Laura Dern at her most sultry and Diane Ladd in her best performance ever. It also is that friend’s birthday today so in celebration of my buddy Ian and in honor of David Lynch, I’m reviewing the cult masterpiece WILD AT HEART (1990). It’s one of my favorites and I haven’t seen it in awhile.
A good friend from across the pond mentioned this flick a few days back.
