Wild at Heart Shout Release Review

Released in 1990, 'Wild at Heart' is a surreal and captivating film that has left audiences divided in their opinion of its eccentricity and darkness. As someone who stumbled upon the CD soundtrack to this movie a year after watching it on the big screen, I can attest to the fact that the music is truly exceptional - a great soundtrack that perfectly complements the film's offbeat tone.

One aspect of the movie that stands out is the performances from its cast, particularly Laura Dern and Nicholas Cage. Dern brings a convincing air of trailer-trash authenticity to her role, while Cage's over-the-top antics provide much of the comedic relief in an otherwise dark and twisted story.

The film's sense of humor can be quite acquired, and viewers with a more conventional taste in entertainment may find themselves shaking their heads in disgust at times. However, for those who appreciate a good dose of absurdity and outrageously disgusting characters, 'Wild at Heart' is sure to deliver. Willem Dafoe's portrayal of the infamous Bobby Peru is particularly noteworthy - his ultra-weird and unsettling performance earns him a spot as one of the creepiest characters I've ever had the pleasure of encountering on screen.

Ultimately, it's difficult to categorize 'Wild at Heart' as anything other than outrageously bizarre. The film's eccentricity knows no bounds, with each character more strange and fascinating than the last. While not everyone may appreciate its unique brand of weirdness, fans of David Lynch's work will find much to love in this sick-but-fascinating film that has left a lasting impression on me.
