This is one of Lynch's funnier films, albeit very macabre humor. To an extent, it seems like maybe the hint of something 'deeper' is in this case more of a red herring. Assuming that there is indeed something to figure out. But that fact also makes Wild at Heart a good candidate for introducing someone to Lynch.On the other hand, although it's more transparent and linear on a surface level, I'm still not sure I've figured out the multilayered, bizarre subtexts and symbolism that lie deep beneath the surface-even though I've seen it a few times now.
