WILD AT HEART: David Lynch, Nicolas Cage & the Road to Cannes

After the first season of TWIN PEAKS, David Lynch turned his attention back to film — and WILD AT HEART was the result. In this episode, we track how Lynch adapted Barry Gifford’s violent romance novel, cast Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, and took the film all the way to Cannes, where it earned the festival’s top prize — and some serious backlash.
