The new season of <em>Twin Peaks <\/em>(2017) was dubbed <em>Twin Peaks: The Return <\/em>by Showtime, hoping to differentiate the new series from ABC\u2019s original show. Even if <em>The Return <\/em>was never meant to be the official title of the new season, it introduces some central points and motifs, from the nostalgic vibe and \u201cthe fear of letting go\u201d to the eulogizing of dead actors, the yearning to return to a certain town, a certain atmosphere and a certain set of characters, and the inevitability of transformation and uncertainty. Those elements are introduced stylistically through a vivid use of recycling and remixing, where old material is repurposed and sampled, and where elements from other parts of Lynch\u2019s filmography and all of film history are referenced and included in what soon develops into a kind of <em>magnum opus <\/em>or even a cultural compost heap. Andreas Halskov explores this use of recycling and remixing in <em>The Return<\/em>, arguing that the series is much more than a postmodern collage. If anything, <em>Twin Peaks: The Return <\/em>is a touching meditation on the eternal cycle of life and death, repetition and transformation.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Screenplay:&nbsp;Andreas Halskov<\/li><li>Production and editing:&nbsp;Jan Oxholm<\/li><li>Thanks to Davey Morison Dillard and Morten Hammersh\u00f8y K\u00f8lln.<\/li><li>For study purposes only.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excerpts from<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><em>Twin Peaks: The Return&nbsp;<\/em>(2017) \u00a9 Lynch\/Frost, CBS\/Showtime\/Rancho Rosa Productions<\/li><li><em>The Elephant Man <\/em>(1980) \u00a9 Lynch, Studiocanal<\/li><li><em>Six Figures Getting Sick&nbsp;<\/em>(1966\/1967) \u00a9 Lynch, Absurda\/Ryko<\/li><li><em>Twin Peaks&nbsp;<\/em>(1990-1991) &nbsp;\u00a9 Lynch\/Frost, ABC\/CBS Home Entertainment<\/li><li><em>Blue Velvet&nbsp;(1986)<\/em>&nbsp;\u00a9 Lynch, De Laurentiis<\/li><li><em>Eraserhead&nbsp;<\/em>(1977) \u00a9 Lynch, Universal Studios Home Entertainment<\/li><li><em>Lost Highway&nbsp;<\/em>(1997) \u00a9 Lynch, Universal Studios Home Entertainment<\/li><li><em>Kiss Me Deadly&nbsp;<\/em>(1955) \u00a9 Aldrich, Criterion<\/li><li><em>Stellar <\/em>(1993) on <em>By Brakhage<\/em> \u00a9 Brakhage\/Criterion<\/li><li><em>2001: A Space Odyssey&nbsp;<\/em>\u00a9 Kubrick, Warner Home Video<\/li><li><em>Dumbland <\/em>(2002\/2009) \u00a9 Lynch, Scanbox Entertainment<\/li><li><em>Mulholland Dr.&nbsp;<\/em>(2001) \u00a9 Lynch, Criterion<\/li><li><em>The Grandmother <\/em>(1970) \u00a9 Lynch, Absurda<\/li><li><em>One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest <\/em>(1975) \u00a9 Forman, Warner Home Video<\/li><li><em>Monty Python &amp; the Holy Grail <\/em>(1975) \u00a9 Jones et al., Sony Pictures Home Entertainment<\/li><li><em>La Retour a la Raison&nbsp;<\/em>(1923) \u00a9 Ray, Golan, Twentieth Century Fox<\/li><li><em>Over the Top <\/em>(1987) \u00a9 Golan, Twentieth Century Fox.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Celada, Luca (2017), \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/global.ilmanifesto.it\/david-lynch-interview-im-not-really-a-movie-buff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Lynch Interview: \u2018I\u2019m Not a Movie Buff\u2019<\/a>,\u201d <em>il manifesto<\/em>, June 17.<\/li><li>Halskov, Andreas (2017a), \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.16-9.dk\/2017\/05\/returning-to-twin-peaks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No Place Like Home: Returning to <em>Twin Peaks<\/em><\/a>,\u201d <em>16:9<\/em>, May 30.<\/li><li>Halskov, Andreas (2017b), \u201cDette er David Lynchs hovedv\u00e6rk,\u201d <em>Politiken<\/em>, August 31, pp. 10-12.<\/li><li>Halskov, Andreas (2017c), \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/25yearslatersite.com\/2017\/10\/19\/lynching-television-again-a-conversation-with-sabrina-sutherland-about-twin-peaks-the-return-by-andreas-halskov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lynching Television (again) \u2013 a Conversation with Sabrina Sutherland<\/a>,\u201d <em>25 Years Later<\/em>, October 19.<\/li><li>Halskov, Andreas (2017d), \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/25yearslatersite.com\/2017\/10\/20\/my-dog-barks-some-animalistic-sounds-and-motifs-in-the-works-of-david-lynch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Dog Barks Some: Animalistic Sounds and Motifs in the Works of David Lynch<\/a>,\u201d <em>25 Years Later<\/em>, October 20.<\/li><li>Kelley, Shamus (2017), \u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/us\/tv\/twin-peaks\/268645\/the-secrets-of-twin-peaks-season-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Secrets of <em>Twin Peaks <\/em>Season 3<\/a>,\u201d <em>Den of Geek<\/em>, October 31.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIDEO-ESSAY.
