The exploding TV set at the beginning is the tip-off that David Lynch's deeply meaningful, horrific and disturbing descent into Laura Palmer's private hell, which begins seven days before she's found wrapped in plastic, will pursue dark introspective themes that his landmark pseudo-psychic TV series dared only hint at. Undervalued on cinema release, the Sultan of Strange's Rubik cube glorification of the terror-filled magic of life is a spaced-out odyssey of extraordinary obsession and power. As one hypnotic sequence follows another - the strobe-lit disco degradation perturbs the most - Lynch's startling contemplation on our unfair universe is a must for Twin Peaks freaks.
Plot Summary
