Movie Review - Wild at Heart

Wild at Heart (1990)
directed by David Lynch
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from JL

I like the Technicolor rinse to the landscape. I like that Sailor and Lula don't ever remind me of criminals - that they're not just a substitute Bonnie and Clyde, that Lula never breaks the law. And I like how fun it is: flying witches, fake teeth, that kickstart two-step off a Thunderbird's frame.

But I love that the romance is unconditional, terror-clipped and desert-spooked, but always, always true.
