David Lynch Was a Legendary Filmmaker. With ‘Twin Peaks’, He Left His Mark on Television


Legendary filmmaker David Lynch left his mark on television with ABC's 'Twin Peaks' and Showtime's 'Twin Peaks: The Return'.

Before it was normal for Park Chan-Wook, Alfonso Cuarón or Hirokazu Kore-eda to all release shows within a calendar year of one another, before cable and streaming created an environment more creatively enticing for career filmmakers, Lynch led the way. The image of crew member Frank Silva, spontaneously recruited to play the murderous demon Bob, at the foot of Laura’s bed instills an overwhelming sense of dread, even as a static screenshot. The show contained tributes to bygone collaborators like the late David Bowie, whose prequel film character Agent Phillip Jeffries was shown transmuted into a large, kettle-like machine.
