Lo-Fi Physicality of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) - Spontification

As part of our ongoing series to spotlight excellent David Lynch-related video essays online, here is one from the YouTube channel Alternating Line. In this video essay, included below, we explore the deliberately simple special effects David Lynch employs in Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) and contrast it with the more sophisticated special effects he occasionally drops in. What is he communicating with this dichotomy?

Alternating Line is a fantastic YouTuber for all cinephiles out there, so be sure to check out his channel and explore his fascinating video essays on filmmaking, television, and how the new digital technologies emerging in the film industry is impacting artistic choice of auteur directors. This is an excellent channel that I highly recommend for anyone interested in the making of modern films and TV.
