Nicolas cage laura dern wild at heart1/18/2024 The opening sequence where Cage’s Roy Sailor kills a hitman who’s paid by Marietta to kill him is definitely the most violent and unhinged Cage gets in the film. Cage meshes well with the bizarre nature of Wild at Heart, but it’s thankfully not distracting enough to make it meme-worthy. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a big part of the film, but this is very much Lula’s story from beginning to end. Wild at Heart has Cage and Dern as two lead performances, but this leans more towards Laura Dern than it does Nic Cage. Cage is delivering a solid performance here, but compared to his later films, he’s not as eccentric as you would expect or want. Cage’s chemistry with Laura Dern is equally sweet as it is sexy and you actively root for the characters to make it through all their predicaments. Roy Sailor is the bad boy with a heart of gold and he’ll do anything for the love of his life Lula even if it involves getting his hands dirty. Cage Performance:Ĭage and Lynch only worked together once? That’s a real shame because their personalities make them a perfect match. It’s sweet, it’s violent, and it’s occasionally funny, but how does it stack up against Cage’s filmography? Well, crank up some Powermad and bring your best Elvis impression because we’re cruising down the road that is Wild at Heart. Along the way, Sailor and Fortune meet a couple of surreal characters that could only exist in a David Lynch film, such as Willem Dafoe’s Bobby Peru. David Lynch takes us on a road trip with Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as Sailor Ripley and Lula Fortune, two lovers looking to run away from Fortune’s mother Marietta who’s hired a hitman to find and kill Sailor.
