Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Analysis - Laura Palmer's Story (Part 2)

Welcome to Part 5 in my 10 part series on the original works of David Lynch! These videos will discuss the themes of Lynch's original works, starting with Eraserhead and ending finally with Twin Peaks: The Return.

In this installment of The Postmodern Condition, we discuss the Twin Peaks prequel film, Fire Walk With Me. This installment has been split into 4 parts due to technical limitations. This video will include SPOILERS for Fire Walk With Me, the original Twin Peaks show, Twin Peaks: The Return, and there may be occasional spoilers for other Lynch films in the mix.

We return to Fire Walk With Me to discuss Laura Palmer's story in the film. I also take the time to discuss Leland Palmer and Dale Cooper. All three of these characters have a dual nature in the narrative, and I explore the dual nature and what their dual natures mean for these individual characters, particularly as it pertains to Fire Walk With Me.
