Customer Ratings & Reviews

Must have addition for any Twin Peaks fan! This should be watched after season 2. Its important that scenes and people are referenced in The Return (Season 3) that are not in the first 2. And to finsih, this edition is awesome!

After two excellent releases (Eraserhead and Mulholland Dr.) by Criterion of Lynch's body of work they struck gold a third time last Fall with this solid release of Lynch's controversial prequel to his seminal TV series. Fire Walk With Me follows multiple stories leading up to the events of the TV Series. Two idiosyncratic FBI agents played by Chris Isaak and 24's Kiefer Sutherland who head to the not so welcoming town of Deer Meadow when the body of a local waitress is found. Meanwhile in Philadelphia, FBI chief Gordon Cole (played woderfully by Lynch) and his top agent Dale Cooper experience a strange occurrence before the sudden appearance of long lost FBI agent played by David Bowie. Finally we get the meat of the film which is the last days of ill-fated Laura Palmer and her troubled life quickly spreading out of control. Beside the aforementioned performances and Sheryl Lee's Oscar-worthy as Laura the film boast a number of good performances from Ray Wise as Laura's unstable father Leland to Harry Dean Stanton as a cranky, foul mouthed trailer park owner. It's worth noting this is the second Blu-ray of this film. Released before in the now out of print Twin Peaks: Entire Mystery set sporting a new 5.1 mix and 4K restoration. The new release ports that transfer over essentially but due to the use of a 50gb disc rather than the 25gb the previous disc used and Criterion's usual care towards getting a top notch transfer the film actually looks crisper and with the restored 2.0 stereo track sounds better than before. Much like the previous disc the release also has around 90 minutes of deleted scenes including a longer version of the David Bowie scene that gives a bit more detail on his disappearance. The previous release was troubled on this end because a lot of people experienced audio issues with the audio not syncing up with the picture on the previous release. The scenes here appear to have been mastered with a different audio mix and I noticed no issues on that end. This release also has a couple of new interviews with Sheryl Lee and composer Angelo Badalamenti both of which are very solid. Packaging for this film is the usual digipak box with a 46-page booklet with a reprint of Chris Rodley's interview on the film from his book Lynch on Lynch. Overall Criterion does Lynch proud again and gives this film a definitive release. If you don't own this film on Blu-ray this release is utterly perfect and is essential viewing for fans of the newer show. Can't recommend it enough.

Quality is amazing! David Lynch does it again. Great prequel to his TV show.

Phillip Jeffries is me and I’m Phillip Jeffries. This also made me sob

Best show! Loved it. This movie was made after the first two seasons of the original run series. After the show ran its corse he made this flick. I still prefer the show, but anything concerning these characters is GOLD! Also: the re-edited extended/Alternite movie “The missing pieces”. A MUST for any twin peaks fan! Best Buy’s is HORRIBLE about sending things in BAD condition. Had to return this and get another copy sent out. Terrible condition for a $30 Blu-ray.

If you love David Lynch, as I do, this is a must-have. It is dark, humorous, arty and at some points a bit confusing. A who-done-it with twists and turns and d@mn fine coffee. (Criterion edition which is always beautiful and full of pertinent extra content)

There’s a fish in the percolator! Would recommend upside down world fire walk with me
