The Criterion Collection blu ray of "Fire Walk With Me" gives us "The Missing Pieces", first released in 2014, advertised as a feature film made up of deleted scenes and cut content from this one.
Unfortunately calling it a feature film is very very rough. It's not actually cut together in a coherent way; instead it plays out the way most other DVD/Blu Ray deleted scenes do when you select "Play All"; a scene will play, fade to black, then another scene will play, then fade to black, with almost no connection.
This is definitely the case here, as the "film" only really amounts to a string of scenes related to "Fire Walk With Me" arranged roughly chronologically to the original film. It is not a new story, and most importantly it does not add anything significant to the pre-existing story.
These "Missing Pieces" would have been better off edited into the main feature as some manner of Director's Cut, because as it is, this "film" does not stand on its own. It very much depends upon being watched soon after "Fire Walk With Me" or else it appears to be a confusing mess.
