Water-Cooled Sub-Machine Guns

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

In the end, "Wild at Heart" isn't quite Lynch because it isn't his strange world you "can't go into" otherwise. Instead it's a road "that seemed so real in the book." Unlike Lost Highway, Gifford didn't just help with the screenplay; he's the source. Someone else's book, someone else's movie, however funny, furious, and fair.
