A series of four commercials were made for Georgia Coffee in 1993 and were only aired in Japan. Filmed after Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and directed by David Lynch, they feature a sequential story in four parts with Dale Cooper as the main character. Angelo Badalamenti's music was used in the ads, specifically the title theme, "Dance of the Dream Man," and "Audrey's Dance." Despite being aimed at a Japanese audience, most of the dialogue is in English, with the exception of a few Japanese lines by the characters Ken (Taka Higuchi) and Asami. Originally a second series of four were planned, but the Georgie Coffee company, unhappy with the first series, canceled them. They were later released in the 2007 DVD box set, Twin Peaks: Definitive Gold Box Edition.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Village Voice by Calum Marsh
The film is alarmingly dark. It isn’t especially funny, or quirky, or even much in keeping with the spirit of the series. But in its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch’s masterpiece.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
For Lynch himself, “the big news was that I’d finally completely killed Twin Peaks with this picture”. But in fact, this exceptional, widely misunderstood film restores it to writhing, screaming life...Far from cheating viewers, this fresh perspective offered them a new way to decode the entire Twin Peaks mythos, with Sheryl Lee’s extraordinary, soul-tearing performance shaking the franchise out of its cherry-pie-munching reverie...Time has passed, and its brilliance is gradually coming into focus, just as Lynch hoped it would.
Slant Magazine by Ed Gonzalez
A torrid journey through the subconscious of a little girl lost, Fire Walk with Me is also a cautionary tale of sorts, the sad chronicle of a sleepy town trying to rid itself of its dirty laundry.
Time Out by Staff (Not Credited)
This was a beautiful new kind of madness, terrifying, exhausting and exhilarating in equal measure.
The Guardian by Martyn Conterio
Fire Walk With Me is not just an artistic triumph in its own right, it’s the key to the entire Twin Peaks universe...Lynch’s unsung masterwork.
Orlando Sentinel by Jay Boyar
This may be the most truly disturbing movie to come along since Lynch's Blue Velvet of 1986...But for those who are willing to go the distance with Lynch, the return trip to Twin Peaks is well worth the trouble. [31 Aug 1992]
Empire by Jeff Dawson
The quintessential Lynch. Prepare to be confused/intrigued/frustrated/disturbed/hooked.
IndieWire by Michael Nordine
Fire Walk with Me isn’t what many wanted it to be, it’s easy to accept the film for what it is: a bracing look at incest and rape.
The Seattle Times by Jeff Shannon
It is, by any rational measure, an absolute mess....But we should all know by now that Lynch cannot be judged by "rational measures," and if you're a "Peaks" aficionado who can easily shift into Lynch's gear, Fire Walk With Me will cast an undeniable spell.
Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
Though the movie ups the TV ante on nudity, language and violence, Lynch's control falters. But if inspiration is lacking, talent is not.
