Now comes "Wild at Heart," which won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, to great cheers and many boos, some of the latter from me. Lynch's "Twin Peaks" is a cult hit on television. "Blue Velvet" (1986) was hailed as one of the best films of the decade. At the end of both " Blue Velvet" and "Wild at Heart," I was angry, as if a clever con-man had tried to put one over on me. But as the movie rolls along, something grows inside of me - an indignation, an unwillingness, a resistance. I sit and watch his films and am aware of his energy, his visual flair, his flashes of wit. I am aware of it, I admit to it, but I cannot think my way around it. The only good thing about this new version is the elaborate costumes, settings and wonderful hairstyles for the actresses together with the great theme song by Chayanne ( when the telenovela was officially released to the press, Aracely came out dressed as Aimee instead of Regina who is meant to be the main heroine of the story.There is something inside of me that resists the films of David Lynch. Where was Sergio Basanez ( they could have poached him from TV Azteca) or Fernando Colungna? Christian De la Fuente is the only one who did a good job, but a very BIG disappointment for the awful portrayal of Regina. You hardly even notice Regina in the opening credits.Also, Eduardo Yanez is just too old to be playing male protagonist roles. Her portrayal of Regina is very shallow and pathetic unlike the performance of Edith Gonzalez in the 1993 version. Since when did we love the villains in telenovelas? Plus who came up with the idea that Aracely Arambula should play the role of twins? Because she came out better as Aimee. In the first place, when you watch the promos for the telenovela, you get the impression that Aimee is the protagonist instead of Regina. I have watched some few episodes of this new version and I don't like what i see so far.
