“Walk into a Dream”: The Films of David Lynch
“Film exists because we can go and have experiences that would be pretty dangerous or strange for us in real life. We can go into a room and walk into a dream. If we didn’t want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous.”  – David Lynch

David Lynch’s art taps into a deep human fascination with the surreal and the psychological. His talent for transforming the everyday into something eerie, for weaving emotion into his strange landscapes, and for exposing the darker side of suburban life resonates universally, connecting with audiences across cultures and generations in ways few filmmakers achieve.

From teenagers to octogenarians, Lynch’s fanbase spans generations. His loss will leave an irreplaceable gap in the world of cinema. We invite you to join us in celebrating the life, legacy, boundless imagination, and singular voice of David Lynch.

Wild at Heart:

35th Anniversary!

Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) are two lovers struggling to remain together even when fate seems intent on keeping them apart. In this case, fate is Lula’s mother, Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd); a desperate woman who hates Sailor and will do anything to keep him away from her daughter. After Sailor is released from prison for murdering a man in self-defense, he and Lula embark on a sex-filled, rocking road trip, aware all the time that they are being hunted by Marietta’s cronies. This intoxicating, bizarrely perverse Southwestern odyssey features unforgettable supporting roles from Willem Dafoe, Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rossellini, and Diane Ladd, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Marietta.

1990, 125 minutes, Rated R, Directed by David Lynch

  • "Joltingly violent, wickedly funny and rivetingly erotic."

    - Variety Staff, VARIETY
  • "Not for the weak of heart, one of the best Lynchian outings with some fantastically memorable dialogue."

    - Kenny Matheson, EMPIRE MAGAZINE
  • "There is no denying the fun to be had with Wild at Heart. Its irresistibly charismatic leads draw you into Lynch's anything goes, 50s-inflected nightmare with an ease and insanity that's unlike anything put to film before or after."
