The Owls Are Not What They Seem 
David Lynch’s television series, “Twins Peaks†embraces the noir of the Pacific Northwest with its mood, mythos and style. A foil exists between the Pacific Northwest logger/grunge type and the classic detective with a Brylcreem coiffure. Pale skin with red lips, pencil skirts and classic Pendleton plaids establish the Twin Peaks style.

The Pacific Northwest’s gloomy backdrop for Lynch’s parallel universe is more than just a setting. It is itself an instigator fueling intrigue, supernatural forces, hallucinations and dreamlike interaction between the characters. The universe Lynch has created is comprehensive down to the most astonishing detail, including the costumes. The following looks define Twin Peaks style:

Loved the Movie and soundtrack - we are working on such a “non-linear but more life affirming with a splacsh of consequences for what was left un-done” piece. Soon after the release of the movie soundtrack DePache Mode went in a similar direction with theie “I feel you” mixes 1 through 8, and the regular release CD. One should check it out.

Twin Peaks really brought art onto the small screen. It’s the only show I vividly remember from that era. “I carry a log–yes. Is it funny to you?” Log Lady FTW ;)

I agree, Momma. In fact, I don’t think that Twin Peaks would have been approved for network TV today…

I always dreamed of living there, in a way. I used to sort of role play that I was Laura Palmer when I’d go to my little small town breakfast diner with my bf. And our waitress was Norma or Shelley :) I really miss that show.
I agree, Katie, no way that show would be on now. Audiences wouldn’t ‘get’ it in the right way. I feel they’d kinda laugh at it (in a bad way), and just not appreciate it properly. It wouldn’t have enough fast cuts, shaky camera shots, etc etc (heh)
As Audrey Horne might say, there was only one thing wrong with that show–it was perfect.

Well said, suzy. Definitely not enough fast cuts and shaky camera shots. Lynch was grossly negligent. :)

“The best show of the 80’s”
even though it was shown in the 90s

[…] Pour plus d’idées Twin Peaks, rendez-vous bientôt pour la suite avec les personnages masculins. Et comme je ne suis pas la seule à m’être réconciliée avec le glam 90’s grâce à cette série, vous trouverez ailleurs d’autres photos inspirantes  - par exemple là . […]

I absolutely love Twin Peaks, but I don’t agree with the people that said such a show is not possible anymore today.
In fact, LOST came quite close with it’s mystery and probably even surpassed it with the characters.
But, yeah, such a show only comes along once a decade…
