In person she is quick, spontaneous, droll, and not even slightly inhibited by the presence of a tape recorder. Laura Dern arrived in a very summery white Azzedine Alaïa dress and no makeup, looking southern California beautiful rather than movie-star beautiful. “That was my plan from day one, and David gave me the ticket.” We met at Ivy at the Shore, in Santa Monica. Dern’s performance is something to burn your fingers on-raunchy and passionate and anxious and sweet. In David Lynch’s new film, Wild at Heart, Dern plays Lula, a sexually wise, rebellious, quirkily tough and vulnerable girl from North Carolina who hits the road with her lover, Sailor (Nicolas Cage), pursued by a small army of gargoyles hired by her mother, Marietta (Diana Ladd), to bring Lula home.

She has charted the territory where innocence and dark reality meet and mutate into unpredictable forms of life.

Although there is a trailer for the documentary, there have been few updates regarding its release since the announcement of the film nearly a year ago. Bratz released a surrealist short No Frank in Lumberton (1988) using part of the footage filmed on set, but a forthcoming documentary, Blue Velvet Revisited, will use unreleased footage in a more straightforward approach. In 1985, when filming Blue Velvet, director David Lynch gave German photographer Peter Braatz exclusive behind-the-scenes access.
