It follows an investigation headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Its pilot episode was first broadcast on April 8, 1990 on ABC. Seven more episodes were produced, and the series was renewed for a second season that aired until June 10, 1991. The show’s title came from the small, fictional Washington town in which it was set. Exteriors were primarily filmed in the Washington towns of Snoqualmie and North Bend, though additional exteriors were shot in southern California. Most of the interior scenes were shot on standing sets in a San Fernando Valley warehouse. Twin Peaks became one of the top-rated shows of 1990 and was a critical success both nationally and internationally. It captured a devoted cult fan base and became a part of popular culture that has been referenced in television shows, commercials, comic books, video games, films and song lyrics. Declining viewer ratings led to ABC’s insistence that the identity of Laura’s murderer be revealed midway through the second season. The series was followed by a 1992 feature film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which serves as a prequel to the television series. The pilot episode was ranked #25 on TV Guide’s 1997 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. TV Guide ranked the series at #45 on TV Guide’s 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time in 2002 and, in 2007, it was listed as one of Time’s “Best TV Shows of All-TIME”. Twin Peaks placed #49 on Entertainment Weekly’s “New TV Classics” list and #12 in their list of the “25 Best Cult TV Shows from the Past 25 Years”. As with much of Lynch’s other work, notably Blue Velvet, Twin 2 Peaks explores the gulf between the veneer of small-town respectability and the seedier layers of life lurking beneath it. As the series progresses, the inner darkness of characters who initially appeared innocent is revealed as they are seen to lead double lives. Twin Peaks is consistent with Lynch’s work as a whole in that it is not easily placed within an established genre. Its unsettling tone and supernatural features are consistent with horror films, but its campy, melodramatic portrayal of quirky characters engaged in morally dubious activities reflects a bizarrely comical parody of American soap operas. Like the rest of Lynch’s oeuvre, the show represents an earnest moral inquiry distinguished by both weird humor and a deep vein of surrealism.∆ Laura Palmer´s photo One of the art pictures about this serial film 3 twin peaks // seASON ONE 1990 4 O n the morning of February 24, in the town of Twin Peaks, Washington, logger Pete Martell discovers a naked corpse tightly wrapped in a sheet of clear plastic on the bank of a river. When Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), his deputies and Dr. Will Hayward arrive on the scene, the body is discovered to be that of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). The news of her death spreads rapidly among the town’s residents, particularly Laura’s family and friends. A badly injured second girl, Ronette Pulaski, is found across the state line walking along the railroad tracks in a fugue state. Because Ronette was discovered across the state line, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called in to investigate. Cooper’s initial examination of Laura’s body reveals a tiny typed letter “R” inserted under her fingernail. Cooper informs the community that Laura’s death matches the M.O. of a killer who murdered another girl in southwestern Washington the previous year, and that evidence indicates the killer lives in Twin Peaks. Laura is quickly revealed to have been living a double life. She was cheating on her boyfriend, football captain Bobby Briggs, with biker James Hurley and was prostituting herself through the help of local truck driver and pimp Leo Johnson and drug dealer Jacques Renault. Laura was also addicted to cocaine, which she obtained by coercing Bobby into doing business with Jacques. Laura’s death sets off a chain reaction of events around town. Her father, the prominent attorney Leland Palmer, suffers a nervous breakdown. Donna Hayward (Lara Flynn Boyle), her best friend, begins a relationship with James Hurley and, with the help of Laura’s cousin, Maddy Ferguson (also Sheryl Lee), begins to investigate Laura’s psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence Jacoby (Russ Tamblyn). Jacoby is discovered to have been obsessed with Laura, and a plan to break into his apartment results in an attack on Jacoby in a park. He is revealed to be innocent, but he suffers a heart attack and is hospitalized with no memory of the event. Ben Horne, the richest man in Twin Peaks, continues his plan to destroy the town’s lumber mill and murder its owner Josie Packard ( Joan Chen) and his lover Catherine Martell (Piper Laurie), Josie’s sister-in-law, so that he can purchase the land at a reduced price and complete a long-planned development project. Horne’s sultry, troubled daughter, Audrey (Sherilyn Fenn), becomes infatuated with Cooper and begins to spy around town in an effort to help him solve Laura’s murder and gain his affections. Cooper, during his second night in town, has a dream in which he is approached by a one-armed man who calls himself Mike. Mike identifies himself as an otherworldly being and tells Cooper that Laura’s murderer is a similar entity called Killer BOB. BOB is a feral, denim-clad, gray-haired man who vows to keep killing. Cooper then sees himself as twenty-five years older, sitting stationary in a room surrounded by red curtains that emit an otherworldly light. Across from him are a dwarf in a red business suit, known as “The Man from Another Place,” and Laura Palmer, whom The Man // twin identifies as his cousin. The Man engages in an apparently coded dialogue with Cooper, rises from his chair, and dances around the room while Laura whispers in Cooper’s ear. The next morning, Cooper relates the dream to Truman. He tells Truman that the dream was symbolic and that if he can decipher the symbols he will know who killed Laura. Cooper and the Twin Peaks Sheriff ’s department find the one-armed man from Cooper’s dream, who turns out to be a traveling shoe salesman named Philip Gerard. Gerard does indeed know a Bob, who is the veterinarian that treats Jacques Renault’s pet bird. Cooper takes this series of events to mean that Renault is the murderer and, with Truman’s help, tracks Renault down to One-Eyed Jack’s, a brothel owned by Ben Horne across the border in Canada. He lures Renault back onto U.S. soil to arrest him, but Renault tries to escape and is shot and hospitalized. Leland, after learning that Renault has been arrested, sneaks into the hospital and murders him. The same night, Ben Horne orders Leo to burn down the lumber mill with Catherine trapped inside and has Leo gunned down by Hank Jennings to ensure his silence. Cooper returns to his room following Jacques’ arrest and is shot by a masked gunman, which ends the season on a cliffhanger. 5 An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” Under the orders of Ben Horne, Leo embarks on a plan not only to burn the Packard Saw Mill but to eliminate Shelly, Catherine Martell and Bobby Briggs in one fell swoop. season two 1991 6 C ooper lies in his room after having been shot. In an injured and semi-lucid state, he experiences a vision in which a giant appears to him. The giant reveals three clues to Agent Cooper: “there is a man in a smiling bag”, “the owls are not what they seem”, and “without chemicals, he points.” He then takes Cooper’s gold ring and explains that when Cooper understands the three premonitions, his ring will be returned. Leo Johnson survives his shooting but is rendered severely incapacitated. Catherine Martell disappears and is presumed to have been killed in the mill fire. Leland Palmer, whose hair has turned white overnight, is rejuvenated by Renault’s murder and returns to work. Phillip Gerard is revealed as the host to MIKE, a demonic “inhabiting spirit” who used to retain the services of BOB, a lesser demonic entity, to help him kill humans. MIKE reveals that BOB has been possessing someone in town for decades, but he does not tell Cooper whom. Donna takes on Laura’s old route from her Meals on Wheels program in the hopes of finding more clues to Laura’s murder. She befriends a young man named Harold Smith who is in possession of a second diary that Laura kept. She and Maddy attempt to steal it from him, but Harold catches them in the act, loses all faith in humanity, and hangs himself in his orchid greenhouse. The officers take possession of Laura’s secret diary in which it is revealed that BOB, a “friend of her father’s”, began to sexually molest and rape her when she was a child and that she delved into drugs to cope with the abuse. Cooper believes that the killer is Ben Horne, but Leland is revealed to be BOB when he brutally kills Maddy. Cooper doubts Horne’s guilt, so he gathers all of his suspects in the belief that he will receive a sign to help him identify the killer. The Giant appears and confirms that Leland is BOB’s host and the killer of Laura and Maddy. BOB assumes total control over Leland’s body and confesses to a series of murders before forcing him to commit suicide. Leland, free of BOB’s influence, tells Cooper that BOB has possessed him ever since molesting him as a child. He begs for forgiveness, sees a vision of Laura welcoming him into the afterlife, and dies in Cooper’s arms. The lawmen question whether Leland was truly possessed or mentally ill, and consider the possibility that BOB might still stalk the community of Twin Peaks in search of a new host. Cooper is set to leave Twin Peaks when he is framed for drug trafficking by the criminal Jean Renault and suspended from the FBI. Renault holds Cooper responsible for the death of his brother, Jacques. Jean Renault is killed in a shootout with police and Cooper is cleared of all charges, but Windom Earle, Cooper’s former mentor and FBI partner, comes to Twin Peaks to play a game of chess in which someone dies each time he takes one of Cooper’s pieces. Cooper had begun an affair with Earle’s wife, Caroline, while she had been under his protection as a witness to a federal crime. Earle went mad, killed Caroline, stabbed Cooper, was committed to a mental institution and escaped. He now hides out in the woods near Twin Peaks and plots revenge. As this is going on, Cooper continues to try to track down the origins and whereabouts of BOB, and learns more about the mysteries of the dark woods surrounding Twin Peaks. It is here he learns of the existence of the White Lodge and the Black Lodge, 7 twin peaks // two mystical, extra-dimensional realms analogous to Heaven and Hell whose gateways reside somewhere in the woods. Cooper learns that BOB, The Giant, and the Man From Another Place all come from one of the two lodges. Meanwhile, BOB moves from Leland to Jocelyn Packard, where it is revealed that she is Cooper’s shooter. BOB then leaves her body as Truman and Cooper attempt to apprehend her, and she is killed in the process. Cooper also falls in love with a new girl in town, Annie Blackburn. When Annie wins the Miss Twin Peaks contest, Windom Earle kidnaps her and takes her to the Black Lodge entrance in Glastonbury Grove. Cooper realizes that Earle’s real reason for being in Twin Peaks is to gain entrance into the Black Lodge and harness its power for himself, and that his “chess game” has been an elaborate decoy. With the help of the Log Lady, Cooper follows Annie and Earle into the Lodge, which turns out to be the red-curtained room from his dream. He is greeted by the Man From Another Place, the Giant, and the spirit of Laura Palmer, who each give Cooper encoded prophecies about his future and demonstrate the properties of the Black Lodge, which defy the laws of time and space. Searching for Annie and Earle, Cooper encounters doppelgängers of various dead people, including Maddy Ferguson and Leland Palmer, who taunt him with strange, false statements. The doppelgängers eventually lead Cooper to Earle, who demands that Cooper give up his soul in exchange for Annie’s life. Cooper agrees and Earle kills him. Seconds later, Killer BOB appears and reverses time in the Lodge, bringing Cooper back to life. BOB tells Earle that he cannot take human souls and then kills Earle and takes his soul. BOB then turns on Cooper, who for the first time in the Lodge, experiences fear. Cooper flees, pursued by BOB and a doppelgänger of himself. Days after entering the Lodge, Cooper and Annie are discovered in the woods by Sheriff Truman. Annie is hospitalized, but Cooper’s injuries are minor enough that Doctor Hayward is able to treat them in Cooper’s room at the Great Northern Hotel. Upon waking, Cooper asks about Annie’s condition, and then states he needs to brush his teeth. When Cooper enters the bathroom and looks into the mirror, his reflection reveals that he is the evil version of Dale Cooper, as his reflection shows BOB. He then rams his face into the mirror and, while laughing manically, rhetorically asks repeatedly about Annie’s condition, ending the series with an unresolved cliffhanger. 8 //photo An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” Under the orders of Ben Horne, Leo embarks on a plan not only to burn the Packard Saw Mill but to eliminate Shelly, Catherine Martell and Bobby Briggs in one fell swoop. 9 photo// // pho- An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” An image of 7th episode; “The Last Evening” 10 11 credits // Título: Twin Peaks Título original: Twin Peaks País: Estados Unidos Año: 1990 Duración: 110 min.

I think it was about a year. We were gonna do the movie, and then the money didn’t happen but they kept trying to do it. Eventually it happened and I know that Kyle played a big part in it being made. So I guess it was a year. It was really weird. The first scene that I shot was the last scene that we see, with Laura and me on the couch. I came straight from another job, literally flew in and went straight the set. I didn’t know what I was doing, so David kinda walked me through the scene line by line. I remember David, Sheryl and I sat around and we rekindled with everybody. I was happy; they were my great friends and they wrote a good part for me there. — What was your favorite scene? I really like that scene in the woods. It was one of my favorite scenes in the entire thing, including the series. We were just watching, I was sitting next to my girlfriend and she said: “Wow, Sheryl is so annoying in this scene.” And she was. I remember her being annoying while filming. It was late at night, it was cold. It was an amazing kind of scene and she really did go for being one of those people that are so out of control drunk that you can not get them to sober up. I really noticed that, watching it this time. Sheryl was doing things like putting her finger in my ear, and I said “Stop it!“. She just did that stuff. It was all her and not scripted. Dana Ashbrook « 19 — How did you get involved in Twin Peaks? interview by UN PERIODISTA The first scene that I shot was the last scene that we see… » It was really just dumb luck. I happened to know Johanna Ray, the casting director for the pilot. She used to cast Amazing Stories, this TV show by Spielberg. I never got on it, but I used to audition for it a lot when I was 18 and first came to L.A. So later she was casting Twin Peaks and literally showed my picture to David Lynch and that was it. I remember the first meeting with David Lynch clearly. I loved the script when I read it. Eric Da Re, Johanna’s son who played Leo Johnson and who was also running the casting session, 20 15 interview// started talking to me about the script, saying that it was so crazy with the woman with the eye patch and the drapes and all that. — Can you talk a little bit about the development of Bobby’s infamous walk? Well, you know. In the movie, we were dancing around and all that. The music was really playing, and there was a bunch of extras dancing around. The walk itself was just clunky, I don’t know. I was wearing tight boots. And the whole going backwards thing… I remember on the pilot, David wanted me to walk backwards. And when I got to the door, I wanted to turn around and enter the normal way, but he wanted me to do that backwards too. — One of the most memorable moments with Bobby Briggs is when his father, Major Briggs, tells him about the dream he had. How did you experience the filming of this scene? That was actually written with Bobby not going either way emotionally. I went to Mark Frost and he said: “No, Bobby is not into it and he’s just irritated by his dad.” And I was like, oh okay, I get it. And then when we got on the set, David was like: “No, no, no! It’s completely the opposite.” (laughs) We did Don’s lines first. I was just listening to the story that he was doing and he was so good. And then they turned around on me, and David wanted me to cry but it wasn’t really working. And instead of talking to me, David took Don aside and he talked to him. Don came back and while we did the scene, Don started crying off-camera. When he started crying, I started crying. I really love Don for that, God rest his soul. Without the soundtrack and effects, did you feel there was still a weird intensity on the set? Yeah, there’s a weirdness. But David listens to music while watching the monitors. He’s got a whole vibe going, and he’ll put that music out there for everyone to vibe on too. It can get weird. With the scene in the woods where I shot the guy in the middle of the night, they had effects guys doing all the brains. But David Lynch got in there with rubber gloves on and he wanted to do the brains. It’s like an awful thing, but it’s funny too, seeing David mess with a brain. It was a learning experience working with someone like that.— 16 // inter- How much did the cast discuss the show? Like everybody, we all thought about it. But it wasn’t really that big of a deal to us, as much as it became after ABC marketed Twin Peaks with: “Who killed Laura Palmer?” I was more into the story of all the freaky characters. We were really lucky to have good writing and directors. And they were there to guide us if we had any questions. Some of the stuff, you’re kind of winging. When David Lynch was there, you could go to the source, but if that source wasn’t there, we were making arbitrary decisions character-wise. But most of the time, it’s pretty much mapped out and you just have to do what the script says. David likes the mystery of things, and sometimes it’s easier not to try to understand what’s going on. He meditates a lot and comes up with stuff while doing that. I just didn’t question it that much. As an actor you hope to meet someone in your life that you just trust, that tells you to run backwards through a door, or to dance with a blue rose and do stuff (laughs). I don’t know what she [Kimberly Ann Cole who played Lil the Dancer] must’ve been thinking. — How was it like to appear on Donahue and Letterman? Appearing on Donahue was amazing for me, because he was someone I grew up with watching. It was a real trip. It was surreal. And Letterman was my first trip to New York. I was 22, got out at 30 Rockefeller center and looked up and almost fell backwards because it was so high. The limo driver stopped me from falling and I felt like such a country bumpkin. — Do you remember how David directed the jail scene in the pilot, when they bring in James? David wanted to find some sort of intimidating thing to do in there and we were working in this weird place. He took me on the side roof of the building and we were out in the snow trying different sorts of sounds. And you know in high school basketball and football games, you do this “Woo-woo-woo!” thing with friends that is annoying, so that’s where it came from. Then some guy that owned the building came out and told us to get off the roof. (laughs) 17 17 interview// // events — One last question. Are you still in touch with any of the other cast members? Yeah, I’m in touch with a few of them. We just did a tribute episode, Psych, because the guy who is the lead is a huge Twin Peaks fan and a friend of mine. So Sheryl, Lenny Von Dohlen, Sherilyn, Ray… who I love, I’ve worked with Ray more than anyone, 4 times since Twin Peaks, he’s the best. And I love them all! † 18 19 //exhibiti ON //exhibiti Twin Peaks 20th Anniversary Exhibition In London: Art & Merchandise From October 30th until November 3rd 2012, the Menier Gallery in London’s Menier Chocolate Factory was the locale for Europe’s first official exhibition of art inspired by Twin Peaks featuring 13 internationally-exhibited artists from nine different countries.
