David Lynch has said that this film prequel, rather than the TV series, is key to understanding the new series airing on Showtime. In Fire Walk With Me, Lynch takes us back to the town of damned good cups of coffee and cherry pies and we actually meet a living Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) for the first time. Brought in to investigate the mysterious death of nightshift waitress Teresa Banks, special agent Chester Desmond (Chris Isaak) and later Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) unravel the bizarre clues, mysterious disappearances, and strange happenings that lead to the last seven days of Laura Palmer's troubled life...and ultimately the killer...
Shortly after Fire Walk With Me’s Cannes premiere, Lynch described the film as “my cherry-pie present to the fans of the show – however, one that’s wrapped in barbed wire.” Rated R. 135 minutes.
