WINNER OF ENCORE CAGE! (a previously screened UnCAGED title chosen to screen again)
Join us as UnCAGED raises a cup of joe to the incomparable master David Lynch with one of his most celebrated and nightmarish of fairytales. With WILD AT HEART, Nicolas Cage karate kicked off the ‘90s with a surreal, nearly Dadaist masterpiece that defied expectations even for a master provocateur like David Lynch. Filmed on the heels of Twin Peaks’ momentous television debut (with several Peakers making appearances), WILD AT HEART stars Cage as Sailor Ripley, a recent ex-con looking to break parole and escape to California with his true love, Lula—played by a radiant Laura Dern. A Southern Gothic re-telling of Lynch’s favourite film—THE WIZARD OF OZ—Cage is perfectly situated in the film’s hilarious, often terrifying hellscape of America’s dusty backroads.
Leaning into his real-life devotion to Elvis Presley and outfitted in leather and snakeskin, Cage’s Sailor is iconic, and WILD AT HEART represents a pivotal moment in his career, wherein Cage shed (like a snake) the youthful innocence of the ‘80s and ushered an era of risk-taking and depravity. Joining Cage is Dern at her best, her real-life mom Diane Ladd as Lula’s deranged mother, aka the Wicked Witch of the West, and Willem Dafoe as the villainous Bobby Peru—not to mention Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rossellini, and Crispin Glover. This is Cage in incredible company.
