1. Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me
starring Mädchen Amick, Dana

It Grew On Me
Alternately fascinating and frustrating--and no doubt deliberately so on
both counts--this controversial Twin Peaks installment (it was roundly
booed by mystified audiences at the Cannes Film Festival) appeared in
theaters after the series was canceled, serving as both prequel and coda
to the whole remarkable Twin Peaks phenomenon. Designed especially for
dedicated followers of the series (it would just bewilder anyone else), Fire
Walk with Me further investigates the murder of Laura Palmer by exploring
events that took place before the seriess brilliant debut feature (Twin
Peaks: The Premiere), up to and including the long, dark, terrible night of
Lauras death. Familiar Twin Peaks denizens Sheryl Lee, Grace Zabriskie,
and Ray Wise (as the three members of the Palmer family), Kyle

2. MacLachlan, Peggy Lipton, James Marshall, Dana Ashbrook, Miguel
Ferrer, Mädchen Amick, and director David Lynch himself reprise their
series roles (with Moira Kelly subbing for Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna
Hayward), joined by an equally motley group of guest stars, including
Harry Dean Stanton, David Bowie, Chris Isaak, and Kiefer Sutherland. --

Personal Review: Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me starring
Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook, Phoebe Augustine, David
Bowie, Eric DaRe
That title is from the song (lyric by Lynch) that we actually get to see Julee
Cruise perform midway through the film. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
was booed at Cannes, perhaps because it diverges quite a bit from the TV
series: its less funny and more violent. Lynch appears liberated from the
constraints of network TV. The sex, drugs and violence depicted go pretty
far into R territory. This is definitely for adults only. Some have suggested
that the humor in the TV series may have been aimed at making it more
palatable for TV. In any case, I found it gratifying that Fire recognizes that
the take-off point for the whole Twin Peaks phenomenon was the brutal
murder of a homecoming queen who had it all. Lynch is careful not to
overplay that hand, but on the deepest level this is not a funny story. Fire
forces the viewer to confront that, which might account in part for the
hostile reaction to it initially in some quarters. BTW, Sheryl Lynn was about
5 years too old to play Laura Palmer but her performance is so good that
her age doesnt matter. This is a major motion picture and major Lynch.
