Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me
Director David Lynch returns to the Pacific Northwest territory that helped to change the face of television in 1990, making him a household name all across America. A predecessor to that series, FIRE WALK WITH ME recounts the final week in the life of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a sparkling teenager who finds herself caught up in a seedy underworld and is eventually murdered. As Laura abuses cocaine and performs sexual favors for a series of shady characters, she also must balance her day-to-day affairs, which include a best friend, Donna (Moira Kelly), an ex-boyfriend, James (James Marshall), and her parents, Leland (Ray Wise) and Sarah (Grace Zabriskie). Screenwriters Lynch and Robert Engels raise more questions than they answer, keeping the film's mystery ambiguous even by the film's conclusion. While this will most certainly appeal to die-hard fans of the series, it isn't necessary for the viewer to have any prior knowledge of the characters in order to follow the story line, for Lynch's unique vision is enough to keep audiences engaged even when they aren't able to put the pieces together. Haunting, humorous, and strange, FIRE WALK WITH ME is another work of artistry from the mind of David Lynch.

The exploding TV set at the beginning is the tip-off that David Lynch's deeply meaningful, horrific and disturbing descent into Laura Palmer's private hell, which begins seven days before she's found wrapped in plastic, will pursue dark introspective themes that his landmark pseudo-psychic maxi-series dared only hint at. Undervalued on cinema release, the Sultan of Strange's Rubik cube glorification of the terror-filled magic of life is a spaced-out odyssey of extraordinary obsession and power. As one hypnotic sequence follows another — the strobe-lit disco degradation perturbs the most — Lynch's startling contemplation on our unfair universe is a must for Twin Peaks freaks.

Mystifyingly obscure and dull prequel to the TV series Twin Peaks which tries one's patience with its visions and precognitions.

If you like Twin Peaks you might like this
Warning, do not see this film before you have watched the whole Twin Peaks series; the movie will be totally incomprehensible and it includes massive spoilers for the series. If you have seen and enjoyed the series, this is essential viewing, although it is not at all what I expected, being much darker and without the humour of the series. Very surreal, but also visually very interesting. Will definitely not be to everyone?s tastes.
