The soundtrack to one of the finer films of all time. As an avid Peaker, I really can’t get enough of the world created in both the series and this film. The two are drastically different in tone, but both work in their own great ways.
At the time I first dove into the Peaks world, I was really into reading scripts, so I had actually read the script to Fire Walk With Me before I watched it, as I did with Lost Highway. Both are amazing to read. Highly recommended. There’s so much stuff that didn’t make the final film, but goddamn if it isn’t a brilliant piece of work. Chris Isaac AND Kiefer Sutherland AND David Bowie AND Harry Dean Stanton all just in the INTRO to the film? A fucking IVOR wet dream right there. He only left out Robert Downey Jr…
This fine film could only be elevated by a fine score and soundtrack, which is exactly what Angelo Badalamenti provides. Haunting, sweeping, epic. The man should be given many awards for his work.
Also, be sure to go over to Egg City Radio and grab the Agent Cooper Tapes. A real gem.
