David Lynch: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

In the town of Twin Peaks, everybody has their secrets—but no one more than Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee).

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-addicted 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, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is nevertheless one of Lynch’s most humane films, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine—a character as enthralling in life as she was in death.

QFT and David Lynch go together like coffee and cherry pie. This summer, in celebration of his life and work, QFT are pulling back the red curtain on Lynch's body of work, from the wild at heart to the weird on top.
