Fire Walk With Me
Movie Information
In Brief: As the connective tissue ostensibly created to tie up some loose-ends following the abrupt cancellation of Twin Peaks, David Lynch's Fire Walk With Me was critically derided on its release in 1992 — not for what it was, but for what it wasn't. Those looking for resolution to the seminal TV series' notorious cliff-hanger were bitterly disappointed, audiences booed the film at Cannes, and the feature-length prequel was relegated to classification as lesser Lynch for two-and-a-half decades. With the eighteen episode resolution to the story, Twin Peaks: The Return, completing its run on Sept. 3, FWWM is overdue for a reevaluation within the show's newly expanded context. Not only is it one of Lynch's most underrated films from an aesthetic standpoint, it's also essential to understanding what the hell is going on in the series' latest episodes — and here's a rare chance to catch up on the big screen, just in time for the finale.
