29 minutes of Nicolas Cage explaining why he needed to be a snake-wearing Elvis. Essential chaos.
A documentary about the making of the movie Wild at Heart, produced for the DVD release of the film.
Direction
Strailey captures Lynch's gentle nightmare energy perfectly.
Acting
Cage's Elvis origin story is unhinged cinema gold.
Director
Jonathan F. Strailey
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cage originally wanted to be a 'heavy metal Elvis,' but Lynch redirected him toward the snake-and-leather hybrid that became iconic.
