Twin Peaks

[Ian Livingston]

I think it's paramount to view Lynch's work as art. Primarily visual art,
but also meant to be experienced in the theater, in a hot medium, as
McLuhan always likes to say. I haven't seen Inland Empire yet, but I will
leap at any opportunity to catch in a theater. Colette loves it after
multiple viewings, and she is a Lynch scholar.
