An erotic, violent, disturbing, blackly-humorous road movie that confirmed David Lynch's position as the most startling and original film-maker of his generation. A twisted homage to The Wizard of Oz, this takes Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern on one of the most bizarre journeys of all time, as they escape from the clutches of her evil mother (Diane Ladd).
