That said, I remain open to his talents – and despite my view of his oddness, I know he possesses skill as a filmmaker. Lynch’s particular brand of quirkiness tends to feel “pre-planned” and not really organic. I admit I’ve never been a big fan of Lynch’s work, as I find his films to offer a self-consciousness that doesn’t often appeal to me. She sics various parties on the couple and they run into many other complications as they seek happiness and solace. In addition to legal issues connected to Sailor’s defiance of parole conditions, the couple encounter resistance from Lula’s mother Marietta (Diane Ladd).
They decide to leave town, a decision with many ramifications. He tried to appeal to a broader audience with 1984’s Dune and wound up with an expensive flop, so perhaps it’s for the best that Wild put him back into Cult Town.Īfter he gets out of prison, Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) reunites with his girlfriend Lula Fortune (Laura Dern). Perhaps this made sense, as Lynch never seemed like a filmmaker destined for mainstream success. The film got decent but not great reviews and made a mere $16 million at the box office despite all the publicity that surrounded it. With all this momentum at Lynch’s back, he released Wild At Heart in the late summer of 1990 – and his forward movement came to a halt. While 1986’s Blue Velvet earned little money at the box office, it developed into a major cult film, and 1990’s TV series Twin Peaks threatened to make Lynch a household name. Despite a resolutely unconventional style, he showed signs that he’d finally gain more widespread acceptance. In 1990, David Lynch seemed destined to finally break through to the masses.
