These are the little sequences that truly prove Lynch's talent as a storyteller. Like the story about Lula's cousin Dell (Crispin Glover), the torture of Harry Dean Stanton's character and the nasty and disturbing images of a car accident the protagonists come across. The greatest aspects in the screenplay are in fact the delicious side-chapters that are told without absolute necessity. Unlike the previous Blue Velvet, I feel like the plot and development of Wild at Heart is a bit inferior to the wonderful photography.

The structure remains chronological and quite easy to follow. Yet, I feel like Wild at Heart might be Lynch's most accessible film (outside The Elephant Man and The Straight Story). As usually, Lynch introduces a bunch of wicked individuals in his film who're all messed up in the head pretty bad.

I challenge you to find one personality in this film that could be referred to as a normal human being'. The most creative and controversial director in cinema is back with a road-movie! Wild at Heart is one rough roller coaster ride and a typical Lynch-cocktail of violence, sex and of coursebizarre characters.
