Incorporating themes and imagery from The Wizard of Oz, this one is a hot, sexy, wild ride as Sailor and Lula race across the country trying to find a place for themselves and away from the reach of Marietta.Īlong the way, they are hunted by Marcelles Santos (J.E.
But her mother, Marietta (played by Dern’s real mother Diane Ladd), is angry and jealous of their relationship, and after being gently rebuffed by Sailor, she vows to have him killed.Īfter being released from prison for serving time for manslaughter, defending himself and Lula, the two lovers take to the road, pursued by typically odd Lynchian characters who seem intent on killing Sailor, and returning Lula to her home.
Sailor (Nicholas Cage) is feverishly in love with Lula (Laura Dern, who is stunningly sexy in this film). The final road movie from my viewing of Easy Rider for the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book, is this classic David Lynch film, that I hadn’t seen in years, and was very much looking forward to seeing again.
