David Lynch's Twin Peaks: The Return (2017)

June 18, 2025

It’s a great study on experimental movie making and sound in cinema.  There are many jokes that Lynch seems to think are funny. I rather enjoy the slower silent sound scapes and less enjoy his visual effects most of the time. The many versions of agent Cooper don’t do it for me, and they actually distract me from the show. There are great actors in here who sometimes fit very well.
