“This whole world’s wild at heart and weird on top.” David Lynch, 1946 - 2025

Arguably one of David Lynch's more accessible films, this soap opera road-trip sees young lovers Sailor and Lula run from the variety of weirdos that Lula's mom has hired to kill Sailor.

After serving prison time for a self-defense killing, Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) reunites with girlfriend Lula Fortune (Laura Dern). Lula's mother, Marietta (Diane Ladd), desperate to keep them apart, hires a hit man to kill Sailor. But he finds a whole new set of troubles when he and Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), an old buddy who's also out to get Sailor, try to rob a store. When Sailor lands in jail yet again, the young lovers appear further than ever from the shared life they covet.
