Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers who think they're wild at heart on the run in David Lynch's surrealist road movie. Their horizons are constituted by little more than TV, and their romance sets them off on the way to sunny California. Cage's Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-con. Dern's Lula Pace Fortune, is the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable mother. Lula's mother hates Sailor and sends for them a cop and a hitman. Along their intricate trip, Sailor and Lula have a lot of sex, relate the events of their past to date, share their obsessions for Elvis, and meet a lot of grotescue characters. Movie's atmosphere is rather typical for Lynch. |
