David Lynch’s hallucinatory crime thriller WILD AT HEART (1990) is about two lovers, Sailor and Lula, on a sex-filled, rocking road trip, aware all the time that they are being hunted by Lula’s mother’s cronies.

Join the wild ride when it opens Friday, 4/11, at Downtown: siff.info/wildatheart-bs.

Again, if somebody said a stunt coordinator was a buzzkill and they wanted to just feel their way through jumping off a building because it felt more authentic that way, that would be a valid opinion for them to have but they would not get their way. An intimacy coordinator is for set safety.
