Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me15
In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch revisits the tragic teenager found wrapped in plastic at the show’s beginning, chronicling Laura Palmer’s final week and delving deeper into the mysteries surrounding her murder. Closer in tone to the haunting conclusion of Twin Peaks than its more whimsical early episodes, the film initially confounded audiences with its neon-soaked, dreamlike strangeness. Though a critical and box office failure upon release, it has since undergone a radical reappraisal, emerging as a cult favourite and one of Lynch’s most revered works, thanks in large part to Sheryl Lee’s powerhouse performance—one of the most extraordinary in his entire filmography.

Reviews
‘Fabulously color-coded to resemble a dream world, a purgatory consumed by the sadness of blues and the terror of reds.’
★★★★★
Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
‘At its best, it’s a dream within a dream, a nightmare in endlessly reflecting pop mirrors, a screen full of TV-movie sex and horror kitsch blowing up right in our faces.’
Michael Wilmington, The LA Times

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
