Wild at Heart is a 1990
film directed by David Lynch
. The film is based on the novel by Barry Gifford.

Starring Nicolas Cage
, Laura Dern
, Diane Ladd
, and Willem Dafoe

.

The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival
.

Plot summary

Lovers Lula Pace and Sailor Ripley are separated after Sailor is jailed for killing in self defence.

Upon his release they set out for California (ignoring Sailor's probation). Lula's psychopathic mother Marietta Fortune (who tried to have him killed originally) arranges for a private detective and underworld friends to find them and eliminate Sailor.

Unaware of this, the two enjoy their journey and themselves being together...until they witness a young woman dying after a car accident - a bad omen. After being stranded in a small town, Sailor agrees to join the loathsome Bobby Peru in a criminal venture.
