Wild at Heart directed by David Lynch, which won the Palme d'Or winner at 1990 Cannes Film Festival, features the unique adaptation of a literary work. Based on Barry Gifford’s novel, this film has a narrative structure quite differentiated from the original novel and remarkably captures the aesthetics of ugliness. Lynch’s unique visual language, which accentuates the repeatedly highlighting fire motif, excessive violence and grotesquely transformed villains as the key driver, turns a cult film into an art. Through his creative imagination, Lynch remarkably produces the estranged world featuring the unfamiliar, unpleasant, terrible, and grotesque images distinguished from Gifford’s novel. It is noteworthy that Lynch frankly reveals the ugliness encompassing the abject such as blood, rotten teeth and vomit as well as the anti-aesthetic characteristics of violence, coarseness, filthiness and obsceneness in the film. In addition to a parody of the film The Wizard of Oz, his repetitive close-up technique for the abject like blood and vomit represents the indigenous Lynchian style that is difficult to find in modern films. Lynch creates the new aesthetics on screen by preeminently producing a lot of ugly images which are short of Gifford’s novel.
