Just after Sailor is released from prison, where he was jailed for brutally killing one of Marietta's thugs, he and Lula take off on a wild cross-country trip, pursued by his parole officer, her mother, criminals, bounty hunters, and detectives.

Cage's Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-convict with an Elvis Presley fixation who falls in love with Dern's Lula Pace Fortune, the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable, Southern belle named Marietta (Diane Ladd, Dern's real-life mother). Phipps will join us in-person at the 2022 Wisconsin Film Festival for a screening of the unhinged Vampire’s Kiss, which is perhaps the ultimate expression of Cage’s gonzo performance style and must be seen to be believed.Netherlands released, Blu-Ray/Region A/B/C DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( DTS 5.1 ), English ( DTS-HD Master Audio ), German ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), German ( Dolby TrueHD ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby TrueHD ), Portuguese ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Portuguese ( Dolby TrueHD ), Russian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Russian ( Dolby TrueHD ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby TrueHD ), Danish ( Subtitles ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), English ( Subtitles ), Finnish ( Subtitles ), German ( Subtitles ), Italian ( Subtitles ), Norwegian ( Subtitles ), Polish ( Subtitles ), Portuguese ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), Swedish ( Subtitles ), Turkish ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers on the run in David Lynch's surrealist road movie Wild at Heart. Our tribute focuses on the first decade of Cage’s career, where he established his wholly unique persona in a series of bona fide knockouts: the blown-out 80s comedy Valley Girl the Coen brothers’ first masterpiece Raising Arizona and David Lynch’s road-trip/head-trip Wild at Heart. As seen in past Cinematheque and Wisconsin Film Festival selections like Mandy, Joe, and Red Rock West, Cage is a transformative screen presence with the capacity to surprise in all manner of roles. Whether he’s portraying an action hero, a conflicted headcase, or a romcom leading man, few performers have bent such a variety of major productions to accommodate their unique, uncompromising creative vision. In conjunction with the publication of UW alum Keith Phipps’s illuminating book Age of Cage: Four Decades of Hollywood Through One Singular Career, the Cinematheque celebrates one of Hollywood’s truly singular talents: Nicolas Cage.
