Was Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me Really Booed At Cannes

It’s not hard to see why the film would have been booed. Fire Walk With Me is a hard-to-decipher story about a father who brutally rapes and murders his daughter. There are also scenes that seem to add nothing to the story, like Laura Palmer shouting, “I’m the muffin!” or an opening 30 minutes featuring two federal agents that seemingly have no connection to the Laura plot. But what if it was actually never booed at Cannes? According to the films co-writer, Robert Engeles, the story is totally untrue. Speaking to The Blue Rose Magazine, he remembers, While this doesn’t change how Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me performed financially and with critics in general, it does at least address one of the long standing myths about the film. Now when fans defend Fire Walk With Me, they don’t have to reach to the oft-repeated Cannes story. Now they can focus their attention on the viewers who, in their eyes, didn’t give the film a fair shot.
