Dana Gould on

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

Released 1992
Distributor New Line Cinema

Lynch unleashed—kind of. Finally free of network constraints, the director took Twin Peaks, a surreal soap opera unexpectedly popular with Nielsen families, and turned it into a visionary big screen nightmare that had the opposite effect on moviegoers. Beloved characters like Agent Cooper were given short shrift in favor of some of Lynch’s most hallucinatory notions and the truly unsettling revelations about Laura Palmer’s death made this one-of-a-kind horror show a bust at the box office.

Clever Name

I’m absolutely not a Lynch-head, but I admire what he got away with.
