The banal and the bizarre are exquisitely intertwined in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, David Lynch's prequel to his groundbreaking TV serial, Twin Peaks. Darker and more violent than its TV predecessor, Fire Walk with Me follows the last days of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a small-town Oregon high school student whose murder -- and its subsequent investigation -- provided the main tension in the TV series. The film reprises a number of main characters from the show, including FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), whose offbeat good-guy persona bound the series together. But Fire Walk with Me is ultimately Laura Palmer's story, and Lee gives a riveting performance as a teen torn between innocence and lust who is victimized by a mysterious sexual abuser. A plethora of eccentric characters swirl around Palmer: Their similarly fractured psyches provide fodder for the director’s characteristic exploration of unspeakable secrets lurking beneath the mundane fabric of small-town life. Lynch's outrageously strange vision, rife with dream symbols, is perfectly complemented by a haunting score from his regular musical collaborator, composer Angelo Badalamenti. The result is an intense, head-spinning psychological thriller -- darkly sexual, breathtakingly enigmatic, and quintessentially Lynchian.
