Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

In the town of Twin Peaks, everyone has their secrets – but especially Laura Palmer. 

In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. 

Homecoming queen by day and drug-using thrill seeker by night, Laura leads a double life that pulls her deeper and deeper into horror as she pieces together the identity of the assailant who has been terrorising her for years. 

Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces, and yet aching with compassion for its tortured heroine, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is a quintessential work in the Lynchian canon.
