Review of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) by Robbie Collin for The Telegraph — 31 Jan 2002
For Lynch himself, “the big news was that I’d finally completely killed Twin Peaks with this picture”. But in fact, this exceptional, widely misunderstood film restores it to writhing, screaming life.
..Far from cheating viewers, this fresh perspective offered them a new way to decode the entire Twin Peaks mythos, with Sheryl Lee’s extraordinary, soul-tearing performance shaking the franchise out of its cherry-pie-munching reverie.
..Time has passed, and its brilliance is gradually coming into focus, just as Lynch hoped it would.
