So, if you are looking for an outrageous two hours and you aren't easily shocked or offended, this would be a film to consider.Wild at Heart is a 1990 American romantic crime drama film written and directed by David Lynch, based on the 1989 novel of the same name by Barry Gifford. 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. As with some other Lynch films, the music is outstanding: just a great soundtrack. It looks like Mom passed on her wholesome values.

If you want a clue on why Dern would play such a sleazy role, check out her real-life mom in this film, Diane Ladd, who plays her mother in the movie. Laura Dern is also convincing as a trailer-trash-type. Nicholas Cage is particularly fun to watch and provides most of the laughs. I do, to some degree.enough to keep viewing this. You really have to have a dark sense of humor to appreciate much of it. This wild and entertaining film sometimes makes me shake my head in disgust that I own it, and at other times makes me just laugh out loud at the absurdity of it. In fact, 'outrageous' might be the best word to describe this film, characters and all.

He is so outrageously disgusting and perverted you just have to laugh out loud at him. In all my years of movie watching, I think 'Bobby Peru' still has to rank in the top five of the creepiest characters. Make that ultra-weird.and the strangest of them all is 'Bobby Peru,' played by Willem Dafoe. The most interesting feature of this strange movie, I think, was the weird characters, one after the other. Outrageous! This is another sick-but-fascinating David Lynch film, maybe his sickest, although I've never seen Eraserhead.
