    Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

    ★★★★½

    Haven't seen this since my brain was still developing (into something much worse but that's readily apparent to anyone who's followed me on here for some time)

    Anyway, obviously a masterpiece, I'd call it "risky" if David Lynch were the kind of filmmaker who feels like he's jeopardising anything at all by making something like this. What was asked of Sheryl Lee and what was delivered is kind of a miracle.

  • Borderline

    Borderline

    ★★★

    Perfectly entertaining nonsense as long as you don't interrogate the internal logic of... pretty much anything going on. Ray and Samara should make one stupid movie together per year.
