I knew a boomer Lynch fan who thought that was one of the greatest lines in Hollywood history smh. As Wild at Heart ’s narrative very blatantly bears the mark of a number of prior noir tales, it’s important to remember that David Lynch has never hid from pop culture, often to the point of making his characters blatantly interact with it from Frank Booth crying at a lip-synched performance of Roy Orbison ’s In Dreams to the characters of T. That’s not limited to (but symbolized by) the f*ggot line which was never cool and aged like milk. Whatever archetype he was going for… he seemed more pretentious and insufferable (exactly how I found Michael Cera’s acting in The Return). Primarily I think Cage’s portrayal just really didn’t work for me. But somehow I set that aside when ranking the film. While I deride it, I simultaneously say it has a contender for Lynch’s best scene ever (willem Defoe “fuck me”). Does anyone really think it should be his highest-decorated film?! Not that establishment award ceremonies ever matter…ĭon’t kill me but at the time my reaction was “Baz Luhrman does David Lynch” and not in a good way □ I’m quite annoyed that’s the film that won Palme d’or for him. It’s been years and I owe it a re-watch, but I remember being disappointed.
