Also Begman's "Persona." I remember a point in the film where I said to myself, Wait. Who is who? It was an awesome feeling. His Cries & Whispers and Wild Strawberries are two of my favorites. smile

I'll try and not give too much of it away but in IE 'the longest living play' and when she says she's reciting a line from the movie as if she's living in the movie was brilliant imo.

The color blue is reality or reality seeping in while red is the fantasy/dream. I'm pretty sure that's correct.

Fire Walk with Me-

Of his earlier films I thought Wild at Heart was his best. Here though I noticed some of the casting choices are odd. Bowie, Chris Isaac, and even Lynch appears. The ideas and symbols are out there goofy. I didn't think he really hit his stride till LH thru IE because it was more surreal realism. Lol if that makes sense. Casting couch, film noir, prostitution, infidelity etc.

My wife and I recently re-watched all of Twin Peaks. From episode 1 to The Return from 2017. I still think Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is wildly misunderstood. To me, it is a movie about a person: Laura Palmer. It is about her interior life and the surreality she went through in her final days. If Twin Peaks, the television series, is about Laura Palmer through other people's eyes, the film Fire Walk with Me is about Laura Palmer's own experience. It is more like the passion play of the character. To my wife, it is one of the most harrowing, accurate, and powerful depictions of the cycle of abuse which young women can encounter. She herself is from an abusive, albeit divorced, household. She finds a catharsis in the movie, as odd as that may sound.

I could never seem to get into TP. It felt too hollow. I imagine though the new series improved upon the old.

Twin Peaks, at least to me, is something that you have to "live in" with its characters. As designed, yes it is "hollow" because it is in many ways a surrealist satire of soap operas. But it is filled with dialogue about abuse and control, spirituality and existence, life's simple pleasures like food and sex, love and anger, the human condition in all of its high and lows, and much more. Not to mention a beautiful and iconic soundtrack by the late Angelo Badalamenti and some great actors crafting unique and iconic characters.

Definitely agree with you on the soundtrack.
