Twin Peaks

This is a post I have been wanting to do for a long time, and now it's a great opportunity to do so, because the third season of my favorite TV-serie, Twin Peaks, has been announced this week for a 2016 release!

In order to answer major questions during season two's cliffhanger, but also mysterious events before that happened, David Lynch and Mark Frost will combine their expertise on the overall story once again, and will most likely deliver succesfully, even though the cast has gotten older after 25 friggin years.

But now, I would like to talk about the serie itself. Twin Peaks is an incredible look at an atmospheric town with so many secrets I honestly lost the count a long time ago. So many suspicious things happen, and the serie does not let you go once you are pretty much at the 2nd or 3rd episode.

Great main theme and main character as well by the way, talking about Dale Cooper here. Traditionally you will get to see one hell of an investigation done by the local police and the professional FBI Special Agent while the townpeople continue living their mysterious lives.

But once the Laura Palmer case is finally solved, things go way and way beyond. Sometimes the serie can also get extremely funny at any time. And once you have arrived at the grand finale, you will not know what to expect, because it is all a disturbing surreal moment.

Those voices reminded me not only of computer voices, but also of the masterpiece which is Killer7. In the end good loses against evil. Or does it? The dreamlike, disturbing scenes scattered throughout leave much for interpretation.

Now as for the movie itself, it's pretty hard to rate this movie. It is both unnecessary and necessary that David Lynch created this prequel just because of the weirdness surrounding Bob, the Red Room, The Man from Another Place etc. . One thing for sure though is that the serie is superior in every way.

See Fire Walk With Me as a bonus for Twin Peaks fans instead. In overall this whole franchise is masterfully created by 2 directors and in the case of David Lynch, it's an amazing achievement, second only to Eraserhead. And with having seen this, I have now seen all of David Lynch's major works, a first for any director's movies I have seen so far.

Rating: 9.0 for the TV-serie, 6.5 for the movie
