finished season 2 of the show today and now this masterpiece.
i already like the imagery lynch displays in each of his films but i think this his best usage of that because its sprinkled threwout the film, in the middle and end he uses it sparingly wich gives it more weight when something absurd or haunting occurs.
the show is really great, the cast is really charming and while not everyone appears in this film its still very nice when one of the sidecharacters appears.
special agent cooper isn't much in the film but that makes sense since this is a preqeul to the show.
laura palmer is fleshed out more wich in turn creates more depth to the show because it makes the first episode and the rest of the show more emotional.
laura was a real human being who was troubled.
sheryl lee gives an amazing performance and so does everyone else.
the one thing i do miss is how the show was shot.
this film looks beautifull and it makes sense why the show and film looks so different but honestly i like how small and isolated twin peaks feels.
it felt like twin peaks was all there is on earth, i can't complain since again this film looks amazing.
