“When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out”.
In the town of Twin Peaks, everyone has their secrets, especially Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. Homecoming queen by day and drug-addicted thrill seeker by night, Laura leads a double life that pulls her deeper and deeper into horror as she pieces together the identity of the assailant who has been terrorising her for years. Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is nevertheless one of Lynch’s most humane films, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine, a character as enthralling in life as she was in death.
Mis-understood and unfairly reviewed by critics on release, re-visit where it began all over again, screening from a rare original 35mm print courtesy of celluloid champions, Dirt In The Gate Movies.
