Never have seen Twin Peaks series. Good film, excellent music

I have never seen the Twin Peaks TV series, I did not know anything about Laura Palmer, so my review is not biased or comparative. I catched this film on TV, I knew it was David Lynch from minute one.

Here Lynch is totally unleashed, and yes, the story sometimes can turn confusing, but the images are mesmerizing and the music is excellent, I inmediatily loved the bar rock song and the track 'Moving through Time'. Nevertheless the slight confusion, you can follow the movie and the general story, it is just this kind of films that require full atention and even concentation on it, like Lost Highway, but the viewer is totally compensated with eye and ear candy, constantly with Lynch's imagination. Some may call it 'pretentious' but the director is a real artist, I would'nt call it that, but maybe the approach is too fast and furious for some people and the anti-heroine's motivation and character is dubious, I fully understand some negative reviews.

I would never rank this as Lynch's best (that place belongs to Eraserhead, Elephant Man and Blue Velvet - and perhaps Wild at Heart) but is a worthwhile piece of work and left me hooked to continue with the TV series, surely it will be in my DVD collection. And who must listen to Cannes critics? They must be a bunch of snobs and envious film director wanna be's!

Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me

I had real hopes that this movie would move the " Twin Peaks " saga into the next media medium of big motion pictures and spawn a series of exciting " Twin Peaks" movies, it didn't happen. This movie has always been treated as the " red headed stepchild " of the" Twin Peaks " family perhaps due to the sparing way the original cast was used or how the story (which takes place before the events that begin the " Twin Peaks " series) answers few questions, and use such thin charcters to connect the two story lines together. I would love to see the complete David Lynch vision of this movie because only a fraction of what was actually shot became the movie. Don't blame it on the actors because there is a super cast here, just not enough to keep them fully engaged. " Fire walk with me" had all the elements of a really great film, good cast, great sets, compelling storyline, superb Director..ect but in the end it just feels like sombody tore out all the guts to fit it on a 120 min vidotape and didn't care about what sense it made of it's narrative. I am a huge " Twin Peaks " fan and sample everything they ever produced, this too is good but just not great.

the beginning of the story

follow along on a 2.5 hour trip through the mind of Lynch, who enjoys being strange just to be strange. why are we subjected to the first half hour of nonsense?

As a fan of the TV series I enjoyed seeing a much darker side of LeLand Palmer then we saw in the TV series. Ray Wise delivers a strong performance. Sorry not to see Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna, her replacement was not even close.
