After Blue Velvet, David Lynch had his greatest success to date in a different medium: television. His show Twin Peaks, a quirky mystery series, became an unlikely hit.
Riding high on that triumph, he chose as his next film as adaptation of a crime novel by Barry Gifford. Lynch was initially asked to produce the film for his friend Monty Montgomery to direct, but once he read the material he claimed it for himself.
The result, Wild at Heart, is a violent, erotic, sometimes goofily earnest thrill ride — a Wizard of Oz homage that Lynch described as “a picture about finding love in Hell.”
