rating: 4 QuoteA delightful sexy road movie!Quote
"Something wild" belongs to the well known genre of dazzling evasion so typical of hat colorful and irreverent decade. We shouldn't forget the acidic renovation of the British comedy (Brazil, Brian's life, Consuming passions) the surrealist Buffet froid (Bertrand Blier), the social satire Ariel (Aki Kaurismaki), (the embodiment of our inner dreams due the screen's magic) The purple rose of Cairo (Woody Allen), After hours (Scorsesse) or Choose me (Alan Rudolph).

An alluring and outlaw femme fatale will turn out the successful life of a brilliant executive, at the moment they fall into a sudden weekend affair, with all the unexpected situations derived from a distorted mind at front the well planed schedule of the financial world.

One of the most relevant exponents of this genre.

This is a great twist on the traditional love story. Demme takes you on a 'wild' ride. Inspires to get priorities correct in life. An interesting evening for two: somthing for the guys - someone who get over their head, something for the girls - an untraditional love story that touches the heart. Let's hope that not every couple starts out like this. Great cast with Griffith, Daniels, Liotta (in a superb and very scary performance). August 9, 2008

aside from Demme being awesome...he has fantastic taste in music and this film is no exception.....let's not forget that the worship worthy band the The Feelies makes a cameo....reason enough to buy the film, in my opinion! December 12, 2007
