Synopsis

An idiosyncratic FBI agent investigates the murder of a young woman in the even more idiosyncratic town of Twin Peaks. (This standalone version of the series pilot was produced for the European VHS market and has an alternate, closed ending.)

Cinema Atlas Connection
I watched ‘Twin Peaks’ in the early 90s, when I was in university, and I really loved the show. The character of the townspeople, how they all seemed normal on the surface but underneath they had a lot of secrets and bizarre things going on. That was an influence on Memories of Murder.
