Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) | the cinematic event of the decade

Twin Peaks: The Return 

Aired: (May 21st - September 3rd, 2017)

Created by: David Lynch and Mark Frost

Starring: Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Michael Horse, and others

Scripted and filmed as an 18-hour movie, Twin Peaks: The Return continues 25 years after the events of the original show, re-imagining the dreamworld of Laura Palmer that I and many others had come to revere. Neither television nor cinema, co-writers Lynch and Frost deliver a unique, surrealist hybrid of the two, inviting a new reception to its content and Quixotic, open-ended visions. Twin Peaks is a constant source of inspiration to me, and The Return (which, in many ways, I consider to be greater than its original) is both a final, long goodbye and capitalisation of the decade.
