Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

Tentpole Trauma

The television phenomenon of Twin Peaks had cooled by 1992, but that didn’t stop creator and arthouse darling David Lynch from directing a theatrical prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The reaction was less than enthusiastic; critics couldn’t make sense of Lynch’s unconventional narrative, and fans of the show were upset by the lack of characters and humor they had come to expect. And yet, despite a tepid box office, the film gained a cult following and the franchise survived in the form of a 2017 sequel series on Showtime. Join Sebastian, Jennifer and Troy as they enter the Black Lodge and attempt to untangle this surreal and misunderstood masterwork.
