Although over 90 minutes of the film explores in gruesome detail Laura Palmer's double life (radiant, tortured and self-destructive) her final days and the entity of BOB, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me manages to surpass the TV pilot with its masterful aesthetics, excoriating beauty and perversely moving magic realism. However, the prologue/epilogue is somewhat darker, bleak and visionary than the ... read more
