And, another Lynch trait that certainly is here is the excellent visual style, which is enhanced by the widescreen DVD. I bought the CD to this a year after first seeing the movie, and I've always enjoyed it. An ex-con (Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage) and his fiery lover (Academy Award nominee Laura Dern) meet many bizarre characters while fleeing from her psychotic mother. ![]() 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). Wild at Heart Academy Award nominated director David Lynch presents this Southern Gothic masterpiece about love on the run. As with some other Lynch films, the music is outstanding: just a great soundtrack.
