Audience did not walk with me

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)

Directed by David Lynch this follow up to the TV series Twin Peaks stars Sheryl Lee, Moira Kelly and Ray Wise. FBI agents investigate a murder while a high school girl lives out the final troubled week of her life.

To someone that has not seen the show the plot is a bit of a confusing mess and as someone that had seen the show previously it does seem like all the non Laura Palmer parts are superfluous. There is a really good film in here somewhere but I think it should have just focused on the last week of Laura Palmer's life as she struggles with the abuse she has suffered and the revelation of who her abuser is. The film fits in with the style but having to recast at least one part and use new locations or sets does take you out of the film a little if you have seen the series before.


2/5
