Review of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) by Ed C — 29 Nov 2012
David Lynch continues his groundbreaking television series with the prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The story follows the descent into madness of high school homecoming queen Laura Palmer as she struggles with supernatural forces.
That cast includes Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Moira Kelly, and Kiefer Sutherland. Unfortunately, the film demystifies the series in a lot of ways and gives a far more seedy depiction of events than the television series suggested.
Additionally, the bizarre and surrealist tone is overdone and lacks subtlety. While Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me adds to the mythology of the series, it doesn't work as an independent film and is missing the lighthearted camp that made the television show so compelling.
