Twin Peaks: The Return (2017)

4 Stars (out of 4)

Drink Full, and Descend

By Jeffrey M. Anderson

This final masterpiece by David Lynch premiered on showtime and ran 18 episodes. Some consider it Season Three of the series that began in 1990, and some consider it an 18-hour movie all on its own. Either way it's a singularly brilliant piece of filmmaking. It picks up 25 years after the series ended, with Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) trapped in the Black Lodge. The evil Bob has taken over Cooper's body, and is now a straggly-haired, hard-faced criminal. Meanwhile, the real Cooper manages to escape and finds himself in the body of "Dougie," a Las Vegas office drone married to Janey-E (Naomi Watts), although he is little more than an empty shell. There are too many plots and subplots to effectively outline them, and too many characters; most of the original cast returns, and there are just as many newcomers, including Laura Dern as "Diane," the once-unseen lady to whom Cooper dictated his findings. Most episodes end with musical guests like Nine Inch Nails and Eddie Vedder. Episode 8, entitled "Gotta Light?", is a standout, a surreal dreamscape almost without dialogue.
