Wild at Heart is about Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) and Lula Fortune (Laura Dern), two young lovers who are torn apart when Sailor, defending himself against an asailant, is sent to prison for manslaughter. Most of all, I watch his films with awed fascination and unending respect – and like we all do with artists we adore, we view their lesser works with as much enthusiasm as their masterpieces – for me, that was Wild at Heart, a film that doesn’t live up to Lynch’s greater works, such as Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, yet it is singularly incredible and absolutely brilliant, which speaks only to the brilliance of David Lynch and how he is capable of making something truly extraordinary.
I listen to his music and read his books. I quite simply adore him – I think he is perhaps the greatest living filmmaker, and one that I unflinchingly worship as a visionary. There aren’t any words in any language that can describe how much I love David Lynch.
