If any filmmaker upon their sad passing deserved an interruption into our regular programming to honour their creative legacy, it surely would be David Lynch (1946-2025). For many workers in the film and TV business, whether in exhibition or production, Lynch - the unique creative mind behind TWIN PEAKS, MULHOLLAND DRIVE and BLUE VELVET - was and is the reason they do what they do. Long ago, before our 2019 re-opening, Riverside Studios hosted a 'David Lynch Day' where four of his films screened back to back. To mark his passing, but also pay joyous tribute to his dreams and nightmares, Riverside brings you a new David Lynch Day on 29 March 2025: featuring BLUE VELVET, WILD AT HEART, LOST HIGHWAY and MULHOLLAND DRIVE.

WILD AT HEART
With its good and wicked witches, and references to Toto and the yellow brick road, David Lynch’s Wild at Heart is an overt, elaborate homage to The Wizard of Oz. Lula (Dern) and Sailor (Nicolas Cage) set out from Cape Fear, North Carolina, in a Ford Thunderbird, headed for the obligatory Oz of California but end up detained in the Texas hellhole of Big Tuna. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, Wild at Heart is Lynch’s first all-out comedy, but despite the prevailing tone of aggressive absurdity, it contains some of the filmmaker’s most harrowing scenes.
