The reissued package rectifies the audio technicality present on the movie's sound track but no menu music plays on my copy. The first pressing carries UPC # 826663179378 while the corrected disc has new UPC # 826663191332. Shout introduced a Wild At Heart (Collector's Edition) Replacement Program on its website for consumers who initially received the faulty disc. On May 22 of this year, Shout was scheduled to release the disc but it was withdrawn when they "discovered an error had occurred in the manufacturing process that affected early product." A Shout publicist told me it was "a very minor audio issue in a scene." Additionally, users who originally pre-ordered and received their copy expected to hear an excerpt from Angelo Badalamenti's score (or a ballad from the soundtrack album) on the main menu but reported no audio at all. Incidentally, Lynch's groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks debuted later this same year, and many of that show's actors can be seen in small parts here.Shout Select makes Wild at Heart #46 in the boutique label's catalog. But for the majority of the movie, Lynch's touch works, and provides a strange, entertaining ride. Lynch also includes some moments of plain weirdness, such as a man talking with a high-pitched voice and another man ( Jack Nance, of Eraserhead) speaking in odd riddles, which only calls attention to itself. Yet Lynch seems to have let his artistic id take over a bit too often, obsessing on both The Wizard of Oz and Elvis Presley, and trying to shoehorn references into the movie whenever possible - whether they fit or not.
Even if they have been the victims of bad luck and made some bad choices, they are worth rooting for, and Cage and Dern are terrific in their roles (especially Dern, whose physicality in this movie is striking).
In their scenes together, they seem to truly appreciate each other's nuances and to respect one another. At its core, Wild at Heart is a pretty simple, very good lovers-on-the-run film noir Sailor and Lula are super-cool yet sympathetic characters whose love is never in doubt.
David Lynch's adaptation of Barry Gifford's novel contains much of his trademark powerful, nightmarish imagery, even if it also appears that he might have been grasping at straws at times.
