Since 1991, Kancheli and his wife Lula have been exiles from Georgia. They have lived in Berlin, and will soon move to Belgium, where he will become composer in residence for the Antwerp Royal Orchestra.

She is most certainly not "bitter...
Wild at Heart begins with the moody Sailor (Nicolas Cage) bashing a black man's head into pulp. And Sailor is the good guy in this storm-sky fresco of two crazy kids on the run. Sailor and his girlfriend Lula (Laura Dern) hightail it to New Orleans and Texas, where they encounter fat-lady porn stars and a slick psychopath (Willem Dafoe) who loses his head, literally and spectacularly, in a bank heist. To Barry Gifford's source novel Lynch adds a murder plot, an Elvis impersonation, a few torture scenes, a drug cartel, some cockroaches and a happy...
