Wild at Heart
*Additional film programme to the exhibition [*David Lynch: Up in Flames](https://goout.net/en/david-lynch-up-in-flames/szfkytx/) in cooperation with Ponrepo cinema. The screening will be introduced by Marie Barešová, curator of the National Film Archive.*** Wild at heart / David Lynch / USA, 1990 / 125 min. - Youth, passion, obsession, murder – David Lynch’s portrait of the American dream. The film is an adaptation of Barry Gifford’s novel Wild at Heart (1990), which was dedicated to the late noir writer Charles Willeford. Lynch was captivated by the text and he developed the screenplay in six days. Eighty people walked out during the film’s first public screening, one hundred during the second. But less than a year later Wild at Heart won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) and Lula Fortune (Laura Dern) set out on a road trip to escape the girl’s mother Marietta (Diane Ladd), who wants to destroy their relationship. During their journey, they get into unexpected and unforgettable situations. By keeping the psychology of the characters to a minimum, a genuine snakeskin-clad icon emerges – one that we can adore like a Hollywood star from the middle of last century. “It was the perfect time to read that book, because the world was coming unglued then. There were drugs on Hollywood Boulevard and it was scary to go down there at night; there were gangs out in the Valley and you’d hear gunshots every night – the world was going insane and I saw this as a love story in the middle of hellish insanity.” David Lynch - Each screening will begin with an expert introduction. - Each ticket will be accompanied by a third of a Pilsner Urquell chilled beer (valid for visitors over 18 years of age). - In case of inclement weather, the screening will be cancelled.
