This project has been funded with support
from the European Commision.
The Twin Peaks sequel was supposed to be many things, but not the surprise hit
it turned out to be. All it needed to do was to meet expectations: David Lynch
had to recreate the retro charm of the original series' own retro charm in a
contemporary environment, retain its palette of warm reds and browns and maybe
add a little digital blue, reapply the magic formula of Blue Velvet one more
time and send Kyle MacLachlan on yet another journey to the dark underside of
American normality, but sprinkle it with a bit of Mulholland Drive -- with a
new generation of twins and doubles, a few fresh faces, and hopefully some
adult sex. (In 1991, Twin Peaks didn't have to compete with Game of Thrones.)
David Lynch, wisely, chose to play deaf: not just to ignore the demands of
contemporary television, but also to demolish 25 years of established Twin
Peaks orthodoxy. The new season is very black, sometimes mauve, and brightly
yellow in between; it opens in New York, then moves to South Dakota, continues
in Las Vegas, and even though it sporadically returns to Twin Peaks, it feels
more like an 18-hour version of Inland Empire: a series of experimental short
films, a rapid succession of really slow scenes, interlaced with the potential
pilots for several new TV shows. A few motifs are borrowed from Lost Highway,
but otherwise, Lynch goes all the way back to Eraserhead, and beyond: returns
to animation, stop-motion, and some very early cinema. (Not to mention Episode
8, which, in both content and form, remains a bizarre, beautiful and, even by
the standards of the new Twin Peaks universe, entirely unexpected outlier.)
On Monday morning, the season finale is going to hit the torrent trackers, and
we're going to screen it right away, on Monday night. As an extra adventure in
copyright infringement, the program will be preceded by our own two-hour edit
of the past 16 episodes, which is intended to serve the needs of three types of
viewers: those who don't want to see the series at all (but, absent the cake,
don't mind the icing), those who still want to watch it (but trust our verdict
that the new season is unspoilable by design), and those who have already seen
it (but, given the rather anachronistic weekly rhythm of releases, probably the
show's only major flaw, feel entitled to an extended recap). Anyone who happens
to belong to neither of these categories is welcome to just hang out at the bar.
