| Actor Dana Ashbrook in attendance for Q&A following the screening on Fri, Feb 24 at 7:30 pm! In 1992, David Lynch returned to the fictional town he helped create for the initially popular, then near-entirely shunned television series "Twin Peaks." This is a prequel focusing on the troubled character Laura Palmer (a spectacular Sheryl Lee), who is a corpse when the show begins. Freed of boob-tube constraints and mostly absent the series' leavening humor, Lynch traces the final week of Laura's life in horrifying yet empathetic detail. The film was booed after its premiere at Cannes, where Lynch had taken top prize for Wild at Heart two years earlier, and received mostly negative reviews. But Fire Walk With Me's standing has gradually increased (the great French filmmaker Jacques Rivette has passionately expressed his admiration) and we hope these screenings—a rare chance to see the movie in 35mm—will further bolster its rep. Introduced by film critics Daniel Kasman (MUBI) and Keith Uhlich (Time Out New York). Director: David Lynch. 135 min. 1992. 35mm. Ticket Price: $12 Part of this month’s Twin Peaks Celebration. |
