There are two types of people in this world: those who think "Twin Peaks: Returning" is a TV show, and those who are wrong.

I kid, I kid! Well, the variety. However, let's go back a minute for all you blessed the souls there, who don't have the funniest I do. The debate over whether the sequel to Mark Frost and David Lynch on their equal parts dark surreal and widely absurd TV drama of the 1990s really needs to be considered a movie, smelled quiet since "Returning" aired on the 2017 show. No less authority than the renowned Cahiers du Cinéma publication even declared the best movie in 2019. in Survey of Critics and Sound in 2022 For best movies of all time. But why, exactly, these prestigious places insist that the TV season includes 18 episodes initially broadcast over 16 weeks (with the first two and the last two episodes collected) is not, you know, TV show?

No doubt, some of this may be mixed up (for my money, silly) prevailing view that the film is a superior medium for television, which some people persist in as streaming, further blurring the lines between the two. It is also probably a response to the comments made by Lynch itself, as he referred to "Returning" as an "18-hour film" on more than one occasion. However, surprisingly, this is because the deceased artist had (as it was typical of him) an idiosyncratic, but careful perspective for the whole film against a television discussion, much more than that sound would indicate.

"Television and Cinema are exactly the same thing for me", as he explained to the screening of the Komerimaj Film Festival at the first two episodes of "Return" in 2017 (through Diversity). "Telling a story with movement, pictures and sound. Complete 18 hours." Yes, Lynch usually had a simple if something an enigmatic way of getting closer to the whole thing, and it expanded to one condition that had more "twin peaks" in the first place.

Lynch was known for being a lot of things, but the Orthodox was not one of them. Did he join a cow to campaign for your consideration For his starvet "Inland Empire" (and frequent muse) Laura Dern Or telling the mercury anecdotes about his personal life (exactly what Whether descend between him and Those wooden woodcuts of woodcuttersAnyway?), The man went wherever he pointed his compass. So, as soon as he and Frost decided they needed more than the nine episodes that Shoutim initially distributed for "Twin Peaks: Returning", Lynch was not afraid to withdraw from the project as a whole when the premium network opposed the possibility. Putting the money where his mouth is, he very publicly left the series Twitter (or, As he calls him Bob these days"X") in 2015, after he and Shoutim failed to see an eye to watch the budget.

In his memoirs for 2018 "Road to the Dream" (What he co -authored with Christine McKenna), Lynch recalled the CEOs of the shoot, David Nevins and Gary Levin, appeared in his home two days after the release of the talks ... and unlike any other guest he once had, Mel Brooks is includedLynch didn't invite Bob's big boy to talk, so you Know Things were tense. Fortunately for them, they had predictability to bring cookies. In the end, the couple agreed that instead of once again trying to download Lynch, they would simply give him the locked budget he asked and allow him to grasp the episode to count on their own. As innocent (which Lynch deserved as - no intention - Lynchpin behind the contract) told a review of the Association of Television Critics the same year (through TV guide):

"I don't know (how many episodes there will be).

In a way, Showtime got something sweet deal; Lynch and as they delivered twice as many episodes from the network initially requested, but not at twice as much price. More than that, "Twin Peaks: Returning" was a real event for those involved. Sunday and Sunday outside, you never knew what to expect. Unusual odyssey through multiple dimensions? Descending mainly speechless and often bizarre disturbing black and white nightmare? A friendly adventure with Lynch's dirt, FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole and his special agent with long-term special agent Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer)? "Return" had all that and much more, even as self-reflexively struggled with concerns about nostalgia and ways people can fight to make their peace with the past (and even, in some cases, to try to process it).

But as much as any individual episode of "Return" can feel like a short film, the play is very structured as a series. Its weekly installments tend to conclude with a singer or band performing at the Twin Peaks night destination, "Rhododhouse", while its comprehensive story is divided into clean chapters. You can see all the work in one thing, of course, but wouldn't feel like a single movie (even if, visually, it's As spectacular as any movie ever shot by Lynch). Indeed, it seems almost suited to engage on a weekly basis, between its repetitive elements (which risk being repetitive during the lush clock) and a pure amount of linching of the strain in which it is packed.

With all the righteousness, I see Lynch's point so as not to distinguish between TV and the film, even more in the era where so much non-china media is becoming more and more Chinese. But as Thomas flight notes his video essay "Why will movies will never feel the same again" (What is absolutely worth a look whenever you have an hour to save), accepting what makes film and television different, it can also be the key to keeping both culturally relevant, despite a reliance on the idea that one is "better" than the other media (deliberately or otherwise). Or, to borrow a twist the phrase from the Lynch itself, watch out for the donut, not the hole.
