Your sun it shines.

Vorsicht: Enthüllt Teile der Handlung.

Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me ist die Vorgeschichte zur TV Serie Twin Peaks aus den frühen Neunzigern.
Das Geheimnis von Twin Peaks ist/war eine Mystery Serie die von David Lynch und Mark Frost.entwickelt wurde. Die Serie war ein Phänomen. Sie war anders. Seifenoper, Horror, Mystery und Film Noir in Einem. Eine wahsinnige Mischung und eine wahnsinnig gute dazu. Ja ich bin großer Fan dieser Serie, besonders Staffel 1 bis hin zur Mitte der zweiten Staffel sind großartig.
Meine Erwartungen an diesen Film waren also hoch. Sehr hoch!
Und das ist nie gut, besonders wenn man konkrete Fragen beantwortet, oder etwas bestimmtes gezeigt bekommen haben möchte.
Da konnte der Film nicht bestehen. Ja, ich war dann auch Enttäuscht, als der Film erschien mochte ich ihn gar nicht.
In der Serie war ich total Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) verfallen und hier wird mir Teresa Banks (Pamela Gidley) vorgesetzt. Nicht das sie eine große Rolle spielen würde, damit will ich nur zeigen das ich mich aus dem Paradies vertrieben fühlte. Ein flügelloser Engel in Gedanken und nun nur eine sterbliche Prostituierte vor Augen.
Der Beginn des Films fühlt sich für mich sogar wie eine Persiflage meiner geliebten Serie an.
Ein Motiv der Serie wird symbolisch umgekehrt, in der Serie macht sich FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer) über die vermeintlichen Dorfpolizisten lustig, im Film machen sich Dorfpolizisten dann über FBI Agent's lustig.
Der Film, meine Welt standen Kopf!
Bis hierhin fühlt sich die Welt von Twin Peaks auch seltsam entvölkert an.
Und dann geschieht etwas seltsames. Etwas unerwartetes. Bis zu diesem Punkt zeigt der Film einige der schwächsten Motive die das Twin Peaks Universum uns bisher gezeigt hat, doch nun setzt diese bekannte Melodie ein, Laura's Theme. Wie ein Trennpunkt, ein Vorbau, vielleicht nachträglich angehängt, und nun betreten wir das Haus. Einige der stärksten Motive des Twin Peaks Universums erwarten uns.
Plötzlich wird der Film großartig.
Die Musik von Angelo Badalamenti war es schon von Anfang an, doch jetzt offenbart sich auch der Rest und schließt zu ihr auf.
Alte bekannte, vertraute Gesichter und Geschichten.
Bob, das zügellose Verlangen, ein unstillbares Begehren. Mit dem Kopf durch die Wand.
Eine blonde Nymphe will das loch in ihrem Herzen stopfen. Sex, Alkohol und Drogen sollen es füllen. Doch stattdessen muss sie brennen. Feuer zieh mit mir. Sie brennt und alles Gute ist in Gefahr zu Asche zu werden.
Und ich warte immer noch. Ich warte auf Audrey. Meine Audrey.
Aber da ist ja auch noch Laura. Als Geschenk bekommt sie ein Bild aus Rosen. Eine Einladung in das rote Zimmer. Mit dem Eulenring kann die Seele zu ihm reisen. Grün und Gold. Auch wenn es dich lähmt.
Auch wenn du dich nicht mehr bewegen kannst. Du siehst auf das Bild und du siehst dich und dich sieht du.
"Ich gehe nirgendwo hin, und du gehst nicht mit!" spricht sie zu Donna.
Donna liebt James und James liebt Laura, aber Gültigkeit hat das keine.
Laura's Mutter, Sarah Palmer's (Grace Zabriskie) Bettlektüre ist "How to speak German" und ein weißes Pferd erscheint.
Und Laura, der Sog zieht sie immer tiefer in die Tiefe, und am Ende muss sie sterben, und wird als Mythos wiedergeboren. Märtyrer, so nennt man solche Wesen, auch wenn sie selbst es gar nicht wissen.
.....und der Ring schickt sie auf ihre Reise.
Und ich warte noch immer. Ich warte noch immer auf Audrey. Meine Audrey. Doch Audrey, sie kommt nicht.

Man muss die Serie vorher nicht zwingend gesehen haben, ich würde es aber empfehlen.

Ich habe die Serie seit damals einige Male gesehen. Sie wird mir nie langweilig, verliert nie an Faszination.
Dem Film habe ich mit den Jahren verziehen. Ich sehe ihn mir sogar inzwischen sehr gerne an. Der Anfang ist noch immer nicht "mein" Twin Peaks, aber ich bin froh das es ihn gibt.
Und schätze ihn auch mehr als ich das je erwartet hätte.

Donna Hayward wird im Film von Moira Kelly gespielt, in der Serie wurde sie von Lara Flynn Boyle verkörpert.
In der deutschen Synchronisation werden einige Figuren von anderen Sprechern gesprochen, James Marshall (James Hurley), Leland Palmer (Ray Wise), Leo Johnson (Eric DaRe), Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), die "Log Lady" (Catherine E. Coulson), der "Einarmige" (Al Strobel) und der Meister selbst - Gordon Cole (David Lynch).

Die 7 letzten Tage im Leben der Laura Palmer....

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 3. September 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

Anfang der 90er Jahre sorgte David Lynch auch beim Fernsehpublikum für Furore, denn seine Krimiserie, die er gemeinsam mit Autor Mark Frost schuf, wurde sehr schnell zum Kultobjekt.
In der Serie geht es um die Aufklärung des Mordes an der Schülerin Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), Chef der Ermittlungen ist der hellsichtige FBI-Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle McLachlan), der unter der Oberfläche des kleinen Örtchens Twin Peaks einen Sumpf von Gewalt und Abartigkeiten aufdecken muss. 1992 folgte mit "Twin Peaks - Der Film" (Original: Fire walk with me) das Prequel zur Serie.
Wie gewohnt präsentiert David Lynch einen surrealen und extrem verstörenden Genremix aus Mystery und Horror.
Schauplatz des Geschehens ist wieder ein kleines amerikanisches Nest, diesmal heisst es Deer Meadow, hier wird die Leiche der jungen Prostituierten Teresa Banks (Pamela Gidley) aufgefunden.
Der schwerhörige FBI-Chief Gordon Cole (David Lynch) beauftragt seine besten Männer den Fall zu lösen. Ein "Blaue Rose" Fall ist das Spezialgebiet von Detective Chester Desmond (Chris Isaak), ihm zur Seite steht der junge Forsenik Experte Sam Stanley (Kiefer Sutherland). Die beiden erfahren. dass der örtliche Sheriff den Fall vertuschen will, da er etwas zu verbergen hat. In der Tat werden die beiden auch schon vom Hilfssheriff feindselig empfangen.
Desmond verschwindet sogar spurlos. Ein Jahr später nimmt der Zuschauer teil an den letzten 7 Tagen im Leben der jungen Laura Palmer, die als Vorzeigetochter für ihren Dad Leland (Ray Wise) und Mom Sarah (Grace Zabriskie), beidesamt Vorzeigeeltern, gilt.
Doch der Schein trügt. Lauras Freund James Hurley (James Marshall) hat Angst um seine große Liebe, denn die scheint mittendrin zu stecken in den dunkelsten Exzessen aus Drogen, Sex und Prostitution.
Auch Lauras Freundin Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Annick) erkennt zunehend den Strudel des Bösen, den Laura umgibt.
Drogenlieferant ist der junge rebellische Bobby Briggs (Dana Ashbrook), der ebenfalls ein Verhältnis mit Laura hat. Laura selbst wird immer wieder von Alpträumen heimgesucht, indem sie von einem bösen Mann namens Bob (Frank Silva) in den Nächten vergewaltigt wird.
Ausserdem scheint auch noch eine andere Dimension zu existieren, wo ein Zwerg (Michael J. Anderson), eine Oma (Frances Bay) und ihr Enkel (Austin Jack Lynch) auftauchen....
Zweifelsohne ist auch die Vorgeschichte im Mordfall Laura Palmer äusserst bizarr konzipiert, auch wenn im Film das Rätsel gelöst wird, wer der Mörder Lauras war. Darüberhinaus schuf Lynch auch noch eine perfide Aufbereitung zum Thema sexueller Mißbrauch, bei dem manchem Zuschauer sichrlich der Atem stockt.
Der Film kam bei Kritik und Publikum nicht so gut weg wie die Serie und Lynchs sonstige Werke, die ähnlich strukturiert sind.
Schade, denn "Fire walk with me" ist ein faszinierender Film über den amerikanischen Alptraum und braucht sich qualitativ nicht hinter Lynch anerkannten Meisterwerken wie "Blue Velvet", "Lost Highway" oder "Mullholland Drive" zu verstecken.
Bizarr, verstörend, surreal...hinzu kommt noch durch die schrägen Vögel beim FBI eine amüsante, skurrile Note, die zusätzlich die Eigenständigkeit des Filmemachers beweist.
Ein völlig unterbewertetes Meisterwerk des 90er Jahre Kinos.

The Cycles of Abuse and The Symbolic Keys to Laura Palmer's Murder.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 2. Oktober 2009

Verifizierter Kauf

This film should be viewed as an addendum to the entire Two Season epic television series TWIN PEAKS. (They've finally worked all the bugs out of the TWIN PEAKS - THE DEFINITIVE GOLD BOX EDITION, which is a worthwhile purchase for all Lynch fans.) When viewing David Lynch's brilliantly underrated prequel TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME, it is important to understand some key elements to Lynchean symbolism. David Lynch is an adherent of Eastern Vedic philosophy and meditation. Along with Eastern Vedic thought, Lynch also mixes shamanism and Christian mysticism into the much bigger cauldron of "The Perennial Philosophy." (A term made popular in 1945 by Aldous Huxley's book by the same name.) The Perennial Philosophy is the recurrence of all universal religious or mystical truths inherently found in most cultures.

The Dreaming World: To mystics and shamans of countless cultures, the dreaming world is just as important as, if not more important than, the waking world. It is the place where the subconscious is free to associate with the superconscious mind, or the source of all consciousness. Like the dreaming world, the waking world is also a construct of perception. Pictures, images, and symbols. This is why it is hard to separate the dream world, or non-reality, from normal reality in most of Lynch's work. Dreams and normal reality are one and the same. The building blocks of the phenomenal world are illusive and illusory constructs. The pictures and images we witness as reality are essentially the same as the pictures and images we witness as dreams or non-reality. They are only constructs of consciousness. They are transitory states of perception that rise and fall out of emptiness.

Like many other Lynch films, FIRE WALK WITH ME depicts the dual nature of a waking and dreaming world. These two worlds do not separate in The Lynchean Universe.

Not all, but some of the actors from the TWIN PEAKS television series, and most of the critics, felt that Lynch had lost something with this film that was a part of the original television series: the dark underbelly of evil that was hidden just beneath the surface of a small idyllic town in Northern Washington. They felt that the film was too "in your face." (See the documentary on this disc.) While it is hard to witness, it was important for Lynch to pull no punches in depicting the events of Laura Palmer's tragic murder. Although it appears as such, the abuse and destruction of Laura Palmer is not a bogeyman lurking beneath her bed. It is the beast in man displayed in full form, breathing his foul stench into the face of the innocent. It is the curdled cream that floats to the top of a festering cup of evil coffee. A damn fine cup of evil coffee. It is not a story to be presented delicately or to be brushed under the rug to make it more palatable. It is a story of abuse that happens everyday. It depicts the harrowing, violation, and destruction of an innocent girl. Because of Sheryl Lee's brave and amazing performance, it is an extremely effective film. Psychologically and emotionally.

The film begins with the investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer's friend Teresa Banks, and takes place one year before the final days of Laura's life. The beginning of the film seems tacked on and unrelated to the events that take up the majority of the film one year later. But, this prologue is not superfluous. It is important to understand the symbolism of The Disappearing Agents. (See below.)

****************************SPOILERS*********************************

The symbol of The Doors: Doors are used by Lynch as symbols for entering into and out of subconscious memories, the hidden aspects of the psychological mind, the dreaming world, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory.

The symbols of dream color: Dream colors are important to understanding Lynch. In dream sybolism, the color "blue" symbolizes truth, eternity, emotion, the feminine, and Heaven. Blue angels respresent guardian spirits or the super-ego. Blue light represents truth, enlightenment, Heaven, Nibbana (blowing out the FIRES of greed, hatred, and delusion), or Nirvana. I don't fully understand the meaning of the Blue Rose. Agent Cooper, referring to the murder of Teresa Banks says, "This is one of Gordon's Blue Rose cases." What does he mean? As blue can also represent sadness, it may signify the murder of a lonely girl, unclaimed by family or friends. The color "red" symbolizes power, anger, hatred, the id, primal and sexual urges, the masculine, and Hell.

The symbols of The Black Lodge and The Red Room: The Black Lodge represents the purgatory of samsara, ignorance, or the blinding ego of the self. The Red Room in the Black Lodge represents the lowest level of the self in The Black Lodge. The id, the primal self, animal urges, suffering, murder, or Hell. (Briefly, because it is not mentioned in FWWM, The White Lodge represents escape from samsara, egoless enlightenment, Nirvana, or Heaven.)

The symbols of The Demons: Bob is not presented as a symbol, but as a physical entity. Bob is an entity that feeds on fear, pain, and sorrow. "Garmonbozia." As a symbol, The Demon Bob represents the id, primal animal instinct, suffering, and/or pure evil. The Boy in the Mask (The Jumping Man) represents the fusion of the Leland/Bob personality. The monkey behind the mask represents Leland's primal self. Bob as his dark half. The incestuous and animal urges of Leland's id. The dwarf, or Man from Another Place represents the missing arm of The One Armed Man (Philip Gerard). The dwarf is The One Armed Man's connection to his base or animal self, The Red Room, and to Bob. He is still partly trapped in that world by his own karma. (At one time, The One Armed Man committed atrocities with Bob. Or, was possessed by Bob.) Other demons may represent other hidden aspects of the primal mind.

The symbol of Bob as psychological denial: Unfortunately, Laura is in many ways a victim of forces beyond her control (rape and incest). This makes her journey even more frightening and sad. The manifestation of Bob represents Laura's psychological denial of her incestuous rape by Leland. The memory of Leland raping Laura since she was 12 years old, is replaced with the image of Bob as her attacker. Instead of fleeing from the years of abuse, Laura hides her true self inside her secret diary. As do most victims of abuse, Laura escapes psychological and physical torment into a world of self-abuse, drugs (cocaine), alcohol, and prostitution. (Sometimes victims of abuse will cut themsleves, which thankfully, Lynch does not portray here. )Years of abuse become psychological transference. Laura feels she doesn't deserve love on any level. She is empty and worthless. She becomes a self-loathing symbol of sexual lust, perversion, and desire to men. In the days proceeding her death, her choices are becoming limited, and her destiny is almost etched in stone. A force of karma that must be played out. In the most profound scene of the entire film, before heading into the hedonistic Pink Room, Laura receives a warning from The Log Lady about the path she has chosen to continue upon, which is only partly, of her own making. It is heartbreaking.

"When this kind of fire starts. it is very hard to put out. The tender bows of innocence burn first and the wind rises - then all goodness is in jeopardy."
LOG LADY

Eventually, Leland/Bob finds Laura's diary, steals her true self, and shatters her identity completely. Only after many years of psychological trauma and denial, does Laura finally realize that Bob is actually her father Leland. Innocence is completely destroyed. Laura gives in to utter abandonment and fear, which leaves her defenseless against her total destruction. That fear is completely devoured by Bob, who only exists to feed on fear.

The symbols of The Pictures: The original picture that hangs upon the wall of Laura's bedroom depicts children being served food by a guardian angel. This picture represents the love, warmth, comfort, and protection of home, which is disappearing for Laura. The other picture given to her by The Demons from The Black Lodge, which she later hangs upon her wall, depicts an empty room with an open door. This picture represents the Door to Hell. The disappearance of the guardian angel from the original picture on her bedroom wall symbolizes a point of no return for Laura. Laura's descent has taken her so far down the road to Hell that her guardian angel spirit (also symbolized by Agent Dale Cooper) can no longer save her from her fate, karma, or destiny. The second picture or symbol, supplants or usurps the original. Once Laura is pictured inside the door, there is no return. She will die.

The symbol of The Guardian Angel: A recurrent symbol for Lynch. By the end of the film, Ronette Polaski's guardian angel appears to her, as Laura is being murdered by Leland/Bob, and spares her from Laura's fate. (Ronette is later found alive in the TV series.) Only after Laura dies is she visited in the Red Room by her guardian angel and Agent Cooper. She then realizes that her pain and sorrow has reached an end. She will be released from puragtory, samsara, and suffering. A better world awaits her on the other side.

The symbols of The Green Ring and The Disappearing Agents: Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) is transported to the Black Lodge after finding The Green Ring under the trailer and bending over to pick it up. Like the Door to Hell picture, The Green Ring symbolizes a path of no return. When Laura puts it on, she will die. Green symbolizes a "going out," traveling, or leaving this world. The disappearance of Agent Jeffries (David Bowie) and Agent Desmond symbolize the good men who investigate these horrible crimes. They are transported into a psychological Hell, from which there is little or no escape. These are men that risk their own sanity and psychological well being in their battle with evil forces, and their search for justice. (In the series, while inside The Black Lodge, Agent Cooper agrees to trade his soul to Windom Earle for Annie Blackburn's. Annie's murdered image appears briefly in FWWM. Cooper himself becomes possessed by Bob at the end of the series. Too bad we never got to see where that journey would lead.) I choose to believe that the disappearing agents are Lynch's symbolic homage to them. They are the brave ones that walk around inside the psyches of these demons. Sometimes, they never return from the Hell of what they've seen. Hence, their disappearance in this film.

********************************************

There are animals rapists, demons, and monsters that walk among us. FIRE WALK WITH ME is an amazing metaphor for the destructive power they possess over their innocent victims. The victims can either be total strangers, or the immediate family members of these evil beings. The abused often become the abusers, and if not completely destroyed, often continue a neverending cycle of abuse and destruction. These themes are as just as profound today as when Lynch made this film. These monsters continue to walk among us.

The DVD includes a great documentary with the reflections of the cast and crew on the entire TWIN PEAKS phenomenon. It also includes some online features which I have not perused. As with most Lynch films, the DVD is not divided into chapters.

A very powerful film about a very dark subject. And, one of Lynch's best.

Enjoy.

One of the greatest film spin-offs from a TV show

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 10. Oktober 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

This is a review of the Criterion edition from late 2022.

Laura Palmer dominated the Twin Peaks TV series. Her murder was supposed to be the trigger for plucky Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Harry S Truman to delve into the many dark secrets of the eponymous northwestern town, but even in death Laura somehow became the main character in the series. There was something extraordinary about Sheryl Lee in those fleeting moments she had early in the series and in the character painfully portrayed in Jennifer Lynch's unflinching Secret Diary that led to Laura becoming the main character, dominating the series even in her absence, a little like Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. It quickly becomes clear in the TV show that when Laura's killer is revealed, the show struggles to find a new path. Ultimately, the path it found after fatally drifting for several weeks led to the Black Lodge and back to Laura Palmer.

When the film was first announced as a prequel, there was palpable sense of disappointment, even in the pre-internet age. People wanted a resolution to the cliffhanger at the end of season two. Nevertheless, we got a film that was mostly prequel, with fleeting flashes to events after season two. The film was unfairly pilloried at the time, in part because David Lynch controversially won the Palme d'Or at Cannes a couple of years earlier for Wild at Heart. I saw it at the cinema the day it was released, catching the first screening after morning lectures.

The critical mauling the film received was tragic, because Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece. It's painful, terrifying, heartbreaking and uplifting. After an investigation into a similar murder - of a girl called Teresa Banks - a year before the TV show, we witness the horrors of the last week in the life of Laura Palmer and how the death of Teresa Banks ties into Laura's life. Abused since the age of 12, moonlighting as a prostitute, addicted to drugs, Laura is an innocent under persistent psychic attack by a demonic entity called BOB. BOB has been in possession of someone else's body for years, using the body to assault her and now wants to possess Laura's body. Laura can't see who it is that BOB is possessing in these attacks, but an intervention by a sinister old lady and her 'nephew' lead her to make a sickening discovery. Increasingly BOB possesses Laura, coming to the fore in one terrifying scene when Laura visits her agoraphobic friend, Harold. We know where the film is heading, but that doesn't stop the journey being worthwhile. Sheryl Lee is incredible as Laura - a complex mess of teenage angst; manipulative, destructive, self destructive and cruel, yet somehow noble, kind and desperate, trying to find a way out of the darkness. You can't help but love her. Moira Kelly (replacing Lara Flynn Boyle) as Laura's innocent schoolfriend Donna is given a new slant as Laura drags her into her (Laura's) world. Kyle MacLachlan briefly appears as Cooper, but many TV series cast members are absent.

The film looks wonderful on Blu-ray in a modern transfer approved by David Lynch. This is the same transfer used on the Complete Mystery set from a few years ago. However that set had considerable audio sync issues while this one is perfect. The soundtrack is excellent: clear dialogue and lots of audible low, eerie sounds to complement Angelo Badalmenti's score.

The major part of the extra features is The Missing Pieces. This is 90 minutes of deleted and extended material cut from the film. Many scenes feature TV show regulars, such as the team at the Sheriff's Department - obviously Laura isn't dead yet, so these characters aren't really necessary at this point - and there's some lovely, irrelevant material with Jack Nance's Pete Martell and Joan Chen as Josie Packard. One scene in particular with Donna's family makes you look at Donna's parents in a whole new way. The image on The Missing Pieces is a bit weird immediately after watching the film. It seems to have been degrained and motion is so smooth that it resembles video at times. The look isn't unlike that of the more recent third season, so this might well be deliberate. Similarly, the sound mix is much more minimalist, akin to the latest series. The Missing Pieces are now an essential part of the saga, though, and a couple of scenes are directly referenced in the new series.

Add to that some interviews and it's a very nice package indeed. If you have the Complete Mystery set, you might want to skip this release as unnecessary, although I believe the film deserves its own place with original poster art on a film collection's shelf, rather than buried away in a box set.

It's a film that defies genre definition: part neo-noir, part family drama, part crime thriller, part horror film, part black comedy. It's of the best examples of a film based on a televison series ever made: it treads new ground, it introduces new characters and adds new layers to existing ones, while expanding the world we've come to know thus far. This film reveals the dark heart of the series that no network TV show in 1990 could. A very highly recommended release.

Into the Woods (Possible Spoilers)

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 4. Dezember 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

Ever since “Twin Peaks” director David Lynch decided to flesh out the backstory of murder victim, Laura Palmer, in his 1992 follow-up movie, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me”, viewers seem to be split into two camps, with one praising the film as a masterpiece, and the second decrying it as a foul blemish on an unforgettable TV series. Beginning with its unveiling at the Cannes Film Festival, FWWM continues to polarize critics and audiences alike, with very few having neutral feelings about it. Fans of the original TV series were disappointed because the movie didn’t maintain the spirit of the original, and those new to the world of Twin Peaks were baffled and, largely, lost in Lynch’s weird, unnerving prequel. If you are a fan of the original series and haven’t yet seen this movie, I think it’s advisable to be forewarned that FWWM takes a very dark journey with a very different tone than “Twin Peaks” did, with none of the humor or warm folksiness that previously leavened the tragic, scary events unfolding in the town. Beginning a year prior to events in the TV show, FWWM opens with an FBI investigation into the murder of a teenage prostitute, which eventually overlaps into the last seven days in the life of Laura Palmer. In between the investigation and Laura’s murder, reality blurs with the surreal and the supernatural, as Laura’s double life (by day: All-American high school sweetheart; by night: prostitute, cokehead, underworld moll) begins to unravel, dragging her deeper and deeper into an abyss of terror and despair. And it’s that unrelenting terror and despair that really sets the tone for the movie: Laura’s journey is bleak, as are the journeys of most of the characters in this film. Some come and go, basically in cameos, with no apparent purpose other than to reprise their roles from the series. Others simply disappear, seemingly into thin air, with ominous hints at their fates. And then there’s David Bowie, briefly materializing as a long-missing FBI agent who delivers a mysterious warning before permanently dematerializing from the film.

The main character in FWWM, of course, is Laura Palmer, played by gorgeous and talented, Sheryl Lee, reprising, and giving life to, her role as the mostly-dead homecoming queen who washed up on the banks of a lake next to Pete Martell’s house in the series’ first episode. Lee was briefly able to emote in the TV show, not as Laura, but as her look-alike cousin, Maddie Ferguson, who was also brutally dispatched after a few episodes. In FWWM, Lee gives an amazing performance as the tormented Laura, the eternal victim, whose degradation and abuse takes her below the tranquil, happy surface of the town of Twin Peaks. In virtually every scene she’s in, Lee is awesome. She is, by turns, touching, maddening, seductive and heartbreaking as she tackles the role of the enigmatic, doomed anti-heroine. Kyle MacLachlan returns as Special Agent Dale Cooper, but only briefly, as the events of the film transpire before those in the series (and before Cooper was much involved). The head FBI agent in FWWM is well- played by singer, Chris Isaak, who at first seems to be the hero of the piece, an assumption quickly dismissed about 45 minutes into the movie. David Lynch, himself, has a couple of brief, funny scenes (the only humorous moments in the movie) as Isaak’s and Cooper’s boss, and David Bowie is properly strange and alarming. The rest of the cast is also very good in their allotted time onscreen, and we get to see a more fleshed-out version of Ronette Pulaski, (returning Phoebe Augustine), another high school prostitute and cohort of Laura, who accompanies her on her ill-fated trip into the deep, dark woods. Having grown used to Lara Flynn Boyle playing Donna (Laura’s best friend) in the TV show, it’s a little disconcerting to watch Moira Kelly taking on the role in the movie. Kelly is fine, but different, which is pretty much an accurate summation of the film. I like it, I think it’s excellent, but it is different from what I was used to seeing on the TV show.

The Criterion release 4K digital transfer is newly awash in heightened, beautiful colors and the sound is much clearer than on the previous DVD release. At times, scenes exhibit the allure of a master’s painting (although a painting by Bosch, maybe). The extras include deleted scenes, interviews with Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise (who played her cheerfully sinister father) and Grace Zabriskie (Laura’s high-strung, in-denial mom), trailers for the film, and a great booklet featuring an interview with David Lynch.

If you haven’t seen the movie and never saw the TV show, I think it’s necessary to watch the series first just to understand the events in the film, because Lynch assumes that moviegoers are already familiar with many of the characters, their motivations and their fates. When you do watch the film, leave behind any assumptions that it will be a mystery with darkly comic overtones like the TV show. “Fire Walk With Me” is a dark horror story that stirs up emotions and, for better or for worse, remains with the viewer after it ends.

Possibly my favorite Lynch film-this is a great version.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 4. Februar 2018

I recently wrote an essay length review of the new twin peaks series which i loved. I then did an edit of the essay and amazon seems to not allow this. I am figuring it was prob due to length restrictions so i will cover a few main points i wanted to stress in my last review.
THE MAIN POINT OF MY TWIN PEAKS REVIEWS ARE THAT DAVID LYNCHES TWIN PEAKS CINTAIN THE FOLLOWING: 1.the few episodes he directed from the original series. 2. Twin Peaks Fire Walk w me movie+missing pieces, 3. The new event series. 4. The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer --book by lynches daughter.
There is a strange confusion with twin peaks that mirrors the main theme of absurdity the show encompass making the end result artistically acceptable to serious artist as well as a mainstream audience that has problems thinking in an abstract or mindful way. What i mean by this is Twin Peaks from a macro view is not David Lynch project.
Lynch made Fire Walk with Me --as originally an attempt to apologize for abandoning the tv show to concentrate on Wild at Heart.
Fire walk with me would of been how the tv show looked and felt if it was a David lynch project which it was not and for a total auture like Lynch he has to be in full control--another example would be Dune--it's not fully a Lynch movie therefore its's not talked about as being of full Lynch quality.
I could write a novella about this film but will try to keep it very short.--I first viewed this film when i was in my late teens and was familiar with most of Lynches work up to that point. My first reaction was i loved about 65% of it even admitting the parts i loved were brilliant but i did not understand Lee's performance. .I at the time did not understand over the top acting the way Lynch uses it. I also did not quite get Lynch dialogue.
Lynch has his own linguistics---This film has one of the best obvious keys to unlocking the understanding of this. The scene where-sheryl lee --says--"it's like a turkey in the corn--gobble gobble-- This scene explains so much about lynch that its can be analyzed for structure importance
. This scene has great cinematography- and a dramatic feel besides one element being out of place. That element is the dialogue. Lynch is saying he in this scene to pay attention to many elements of a moving picture and to not concentrate on one thing. Lee's whole performance is a type of style that mimic's movie theatrics. Lynch uses a high school girl as a stereotype to probe into the human condition. Twin Peaks--or Lynches twin peaks is NOT ABOUT LAURA PALMER OR AGENT COOPER.
This is what divides the audience into 2 types of Twin Peaks fans who experience it in different ways and brilliantly in this case it works.
Anyone that compares the original tv show to any of the Lynch stuff that came afterword is like tackling a contradiction. The critic that compares the series which was like 20% directed by Lynch is auto negating themselves. Twin Peaks is very simple. It is a meditation experiment that delves into the classic philosophical questions while using a Edward Hopperesqueamericana/nightmare/beautiful/ absurd landscape and socioeconomic climate of this small town.
This film really is probably Lynches most high octane and heavily experimental next to Inland Empire.
I went from liking it but thinking of it as flawed, to 15 years later changing my mind to think it as a masterpiece.
The reaction to the film at Cannes in a good study of what happens when a real artist tries to mingle with a mainstream audience.
Lynch was accused of "killing twin peaks" at Cannes when in reality he was doing twin peaks the right way or the way it should of been done.
What happened with this films release should be studied in psychology classes. Even at Cannes the audience was in such a trance cause by the pop phenomenon high- that they could not process what they were seeing.
Because of this reaction alone this film is legendary. I absolutely love this film. It is like lynch gone wild. I have watched this Lynch film probably more than any other-- My other 2 most fav's are Blue Velvet and Inland Empire. I will end this review for now and finish it later--cheers
