Movie Review - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)
directed by David Lynch
rating: 4 out of 5 jalapeƱos
on DVD from As Seen On TV

This is one of Lynch's very best movies (alright, let's say #3): the skeleton key, the thesis argument, the heart and soul of his whole career. Whatever demons or interests Lynch wrestles with from film to film, Laura Palmer is the character who occupied the most of his time. And where does he end up with this definitive "woman in trouble"? In spite of the horror, the sadness, the fear? He saves her.
