A straitlaced businessman meets a quirky, free-spirited woman at a downtown New York greasy spoon. Her offer of a ride back to his office results in a lunchtime motel rendezvous - just the beginning of a capricious interstate road trip that brings the two face-to-face with their hidden selves. Featuring a killer soundtrack and electric performances from Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith, and Ray Liotta, Something Wild, directed by oddball American auteur Jonathan Demme, is both a kinky comic thriller and a radiantly off-kilter love story.

Something wild, and maybe something weird. I admit that the film had a very strange effect on me. On the one hand, it's in comedy mode, but then we get some pretty daring erotic scenes, then a road movie-style comedy, and finally it becomes almost a thriller. Somehow it all fits together, but I still couldn't enjoy the film very much.
