Found a nice collection of film stills from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.

Lil the Dancer is pictured above, but I found the image on Wikipedia rather than in the film stills thread. The Wikipedia entry contains a breakdown of the clues Lil is using to brief Special Agent Chester Desmond:

  • Lil is wearing a sour face:
    • This means that Desmond will have problems with the local authorities; they will not be receptive to the FBI.
  • Both of her eyes are blinking:
    • This means that there will be trouble higher up; the eyes of the local authorities.
  • She has one hand in her pocket:
    • The local authorities are hiding something.
  • Her other hand is made into a fist:
    • The local authorities are likely to be belligerent and aggressive.
  • She is walking on the spot:
    • This means that there will be a lot of leg work involved in the investigation.
  • Cole states that Lil is his “mother’s sister’s girl”:
    • Missing in that sentence is the word “uncle”; this is then elaborated on when…
  • Cole places four fingers in front of his eyes like prison bars:
    • This suggests that the uncle of the sheriff is in prison.
  • The dress has been tailored (with different-colored thread) to fit Lil:
    • This is a code for drugs; drugs will be involved with the investigation.
  • Pinned to the dress is a blue rose:
    • This is the one element that Desmond refuses to explain to his partner, Special Agent Sam Stanley. In fact, the meaning of the blue rose is never explained in the course of the movie, and is left to the viewer’s imagination. There is an article on the blue rose at Twin Peaks Studios, a website with explanations for many mysteries in Twin Peaks.
