SOMETHING WILD
This is a party movie with both a dark and a light side, wrote Kael admiringly; E. Max Fryes original screenplay became one of Demmes quirkiest and most divisive movies. Head-turning adventuress Melanie Griffith bewitches salary man Jeff Daniels away from NYC and deeper into New Jersey and Pennsylvania, on a collision course with her criminal ex Ray Liotta.
"A synthesis of the pop/sociological/exploitation strands of his earlier work (CITIZENS BAND, MELVIN AND HOWARD, etc), Jonathan Demme's picaresque joyride across the American landscape is still arguably the best thing he's ever done. Demme's concerned with the ways his characters interrelate, bobbing between Preston Sturges social farce and BLUE VELVET antisocial nightmare, but also with the American character generally, the environments that give messy shape to individual lives, force and urgency to particular obsessions. The best American film of its year (1986), in its action-movie energy, in its preference for practical sociology over ruminating psychology." - Chicago Reader
