Had its moments, but dragged a bit in the second part. Yul Brynner's walk though is magnificently cool, smooth and elegant, almost like a dancer's. James Coburn exudes nonchalance from every pore and I'm sure he has a lot of them.

Lovely soundtrack, very British, stunning pictures. Not surprising, that the director is also a painter. I enjoyed the combo of dark humor and tragedy. It does seem like Wes Anderson was heavily influenced by this (or maybe by all of Peter Greenaway's work, I wouldn't know because it's my first time seeing any of his films), just not as bright, but equally hilarious. The fact that the child was called "Smut" (and was kind of treated that way) kept entertaining…
The characters all have there own charm, the music was really adding to the atmosphere. Two broken women finding solace in each other, a perfect recipe for an overall charming film.
And wow, Rudi went all out with his fits!
Who would have thought that instead of a devastating, absolutely terrifying and psychlogically disturbing film David Lynch was able to create such an erotic, romantic and hopeful road movie? Not me, but I'm happy he did. Although the typical surrealism and scary things are also part of "Wild at Heart", they don't overshadow the main plot, which revolves around Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern being in love while being super sexy. Got me hotter than Georgia asphalt. And it's funny, too. At last a Lynch film I could sleep well after.
"This whole world's wild at heart and weird on top."
