TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME

El blu ray, su paquete y contenido desborda calidad, acostumbrados si han comprado de criterion, el unico pero es que no tiene subtitulos en espaÑol, solo en ingles y el contenido extra de the missing pieces, ni siquiera en ingles, una pena.

Una obra maestra

Great movie for Twin Peaks fans.

Il prodotto è eccelente (Criterion). Il venditore è stato estremamente disponibile e mi ha rispedito il pacco dopo dei problemi di consegna estivi con il corriere.

In this prequel to the cult classic television series Twin Peaks, we follow the last seven days of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). On the surface, she is the high school homecoming queen, bright, bubbly, desired by the boys. Behind the scenes, she is full of dark secrets and there are some secrets she herself is not yet fully aware of. David Lynch, co-creator of Twin Peaks returns to direct and also briefly reprise his role as FBI Chief Gordon Cole, boss of agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) who will end up investigating Laura's death. Most the original cast return, notably Ray Rise as Laura's father Leland, Dana Ashbrook and James Marshell as Bobby Briggs and James Hurley, her potential suitors, Michael J Anderson as 'The Man from Another Place'. Moria Kelly replaces Laura Fynn Boyle as Donna Haywood, Laura's best friend. New to the cast are Chris Isaak as Agent Desmond and Kiefer Sutherland as Agent Stanley, who investigate the murder of Teresa Banks, which will have a later connection to Laura. Overall, the film has a much darker tone than the series, which is to be expected due to its subject matter involving incest, drugs, and prostitution. It's not without its moments of darkly funny humor though, often due to Lynch's like of quirky characters and dialog. As with the series, it can be surreal as heck at times. This led to some mixed reviews even though it was entered in the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. Personally, I find the tone works, the whole tale one downward spiral toward the final moment that sets up the plot of the TV series. Like the show, the film has now become a cult classic and considered one of Lynch's notable works. All that aside, I like this, but maybe that's because I've been a fan of Twin Peaks since it first aired back in the early 90's. Sheryl Lee's Laura is never seen alive in the series, so this gives her the chance to show what kind of person she was. Lee does a great job considering the dark content her character faces. Ray Wise as Leland is just terrific, he can be funny, troubled or creepy as heck depending on the situation. There are bit parts by David Bowie and Harry Dean Stanton that are fun additions to the world of Twin Peaks. Angelo Badalamenti once again provides the often brooding, eerie score. I'd suggest if one hasn't watched Twin Peaks, watch this AFTER, even though it is considered a prequel. The story gives away the culprit, and it's much more fun to watch Agent Cooper and the gang follow the clues without knowing who ahead of time. An interesting bit to notice is the scene in the Red Room where Laura is told "The good Dale is in the Lodge and cannot leave", which will tie into Twin Peaks: The Return set 25 years later. If you watch the Criterion Edition of this, there are about 90 minutes of outtakes, many not needed as they simply feature characters better left for the show, but there is some good stuff featuring the Palmer's family life. Worth a view.
