Critical and fan reaction

Fire Walk With Me was greeted at the Cannes Film Festival with booing from the audience and met with almost unamiously negative reviews. The film flopped in the United States, partially becase it was released almost a year after the television series was cancelled (due to a sharp ratings decline in the second season) and partially due to its incomprehensibilty to the uninitiated. Many people, especially critics, found the film stylish but bewildering. The Palais des Festivals in which the festival takes place. ...

The film also disappointed many devotees of the TV series due to its darker tone, lack of humor and absence of resolution to the series' cliff-hanger ending. This article discusses humour in terms of comedy and laughter. ...

However, in recent years, the film has experienced a small resurgence in popularity among Lynch’s fans, some of whom see it as the director at his best.

Lynch filmed a vast amount of footage, reportedly enough for a four-hour film; much of it never made the final cut (which was still longer than two hours). The missing footage remains the 'Holy Grail' for many Twin Peaks fans. The footage nearly appeared on New Line's Special Edition DVD in 2002 but budget concerns and timing meant that it didn't. In 2002 a French company called MK2 began negotiations with David Lynch to include the missing scenes, properly edited and scored, in an upcoming Special Edition DVD. Fans are still waiting.

Trivia

• Chris Isaak's role as the FBI agent investigating an earlier death in Twin Peaks with originally scripted to be played by Kyle MacLachlan's Special Agent Dale Cooper. Unfortunately Kyle MacLachlan was afraid of becoming typecast as the popular character and refused to be involved in the film. Eventually he agreed to play a small part.
• Lynch has a small role as the partially deaf FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, reprising his role from the TV series.
• For much of the filming, Lynch meant for some of the film’s dialogue to be incomprehensible to the audience, including the gargled speech of the man from another place and most of the dialogue in the loud night club scene. He decided to add subtitles shortly before the film was released, but not in time for the subtitles to be added to the British edition. This led to three plot points being lost on British audiences, making it even more incomprehensible.
