Dance with the Devil

The sexy Perdita Durango joins forces with the sombre Romeo Dolorosa, a bank robber and a sorcerer, to kidnap two teenagers and transport a shipment of embryos from Mexico to Las Vegas. Adapted from Barry Gifford’s novel Wild at Heart, de la Iglesia’s diversion through America is in the tradition of the passionate and hyperviolent road movie. Even after straying far from his roots, he’s lost none of his excesses and verve.
