Scenes I Love: The Final Scene of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return

Posted on January 20, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

“What year is this?”

The final scene of Twin Peaks: The Return has haunted me ever since I first watched it 2017. I’m still not sure what the ending meant or where Cooper and Laura were but somehow, as enigmatic as it all was, it felt like the only proper way to end the saga of Twin Peaks.

And really, this is a scene that only Lynch could have made work. Another director would have tried too hard to tell the audience what to think or how to react. Of course, many directors probably wouldn’t have had the guts to end things on such on open-ended note. But Lynch not only had the courage to stick to his vision but he also had the faith to trust his audience to figure it out for themselves. Courage and faith are two of the main reasons why David Lynch was one of the greatest directors of his time.

Music Video of the Day: The Answers To The Questions by Chrystabell & David Lynch (2024, dir by David Lynch)

Posted on January 20, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

When Twin Peaks: The Return initially aired, Agent Tamara Preston was the character to whom I instantly related, for all sorts of reasons. One of those reasons, of course, is that Agent Preston is the one who got to do all the research and write the book on life in Twin Peaks. Another reason is because Agent Preston was both a competent professional and a self-amused femme fatale. And finally, Agent Preston’s relationship with Gordon Cole reminded me of some of my most valued relationships. Agent Preston was just one of the many pieces to the puzzle that was Twin Peaks: The Return but she was the one who I felt was standing in for me.

This wonderfully enigmatic music video would turn out to be one of David Lynch’s final short films. Both the video and the song were made in collaboration with Crystabell, the Texan whose collaboration with Lynch began in 1999 and who, of course, played Agent Preston.

Enjoy!
