A fever dream of love and violence, David Lynch’s Wild at Heart is a testament to the director’s singular vision, a vision we now celebrate in his memory. This wildly original road movie follows Sailor and Lula, passionate lovers on the run from Lula’s obsessive mother and a cast of bizarre characters. Lynch, an exceptional director known for his surreal and dreamlike style, crafts a world where Elvis Presley, wicked witches, and raw desire collide. Wild at Heart is visceral and unforgettable, a potent blend of dark humour, raw sensuality, and Lynch’s signature unsettling atmosphere. This screening is dedicated to the memory of the truly unique David Lynch, who passed in January 2025.
