NP: Latest Twin Peaks

[Smoke Teff]

If you haven't been watching the return of *Twin Peaks*, I'd recommend
checking out the most recent episode (the eighth of the series). Lynch is
usually to my taste and I'm a fan, so I'm not a great critic, but this
episode is some of the most compelling video art of any kind that I can
remember seeing.

Lots of Kubrickian ancestry (which I'm always curious about with Lynch) in
the middle to sensually astonish. Bookended by Lynch at his weird
expressionist best, beginning and end both fucking horrifying.

Plus it functions fairly well as a standalone piece of expressionist film,
not being too overtly connected to the story lines thus far.

I knew a lot of people--*TP *fans--who were skeptical about the show's
return. It seemed wrong, to me, to worry that--especially at this point in
his career--Lynch would attach himself to this project in particular if he
didn't feel genuinely inspired.
