Wild at Heart
About the event
A violent, cine-literate and conceptually loaded road movie with a cast of larger-than-life characters, Lynch’s Palme d’Or-winning tale of Sailor and Lula, two lovers on the lam, benefits enormously from Stanton’s nuanced performance amongst the grotesques. He plays a decent man mixed up with bad people, The look in his character’s eyes when he sees what fate has in store for him is arguably the film’s most emotionally devastating scene. Screen: NFT1.
