Twin Peaks Retrospective

Beginning June 9th, Far Out Magazine launched a 35th anniversary Twin Peaks retrospective, a week-long deep dive into David Lynch’s surrealist episodic masterpiece ahead of its streaming debut on MUBI on June 13th.

Featuring exclusive interviews with Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost, composer and frequent Lynch collaborator Dean Hurley, and Bobby Briggs actor Dana Ashbrook, Far Out will delve into the show’s creation, unearthing new insights into how one of the small screen’s most unique offerings was put together from conception through to post-production.

From a retrospective on Twin Peaks, its themes, motifs, and meanings, through to its masterful use of atmospheric music and reflections on Lynch’s life, work, and legacy from those who spent years alongside the idiosyncratic maverick, Far Out takes a five-day detour into everything that went on in the fictional Washington town, and we might even uncover some new secrets.

As was always the case with the meaning behind his work, Lynch refused to explain the intention behind Twin Peaks. “Ideas came,” he mysteriously said. “I always say ideas dictate everything. Ideas came, and this is what the ideas presented. Just focusing on Twin Peaks, these things came out for us, and there they were”.

Lynch may have kept his cards close to the chest, but with unique insight from Frost, Hurley, and Ashbrook, Far Out endeavours to reveal more about Twin Peaks than ever before through five days of in-depth investigation, examination, exploration, and memories from those who were there when it happened.
