This is a very compelling analysis of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) by Tim Kreider and mentioned in the latest @DianePodcast politicsslashletters.org/dreamer-twin-peaks-return It's very convincing in it's totalising scope and it's intelligent reading of other late-Lynch texts.Permalink On Internet Archive

As I say, I think it's very compelling and I simultaneously love and hate it. For me, it shifts the focus of Twin Peaks away from the feminine and towards the masculine. It moves the focus to male pain rather than, as I interpret Twin Peaks as trying to do, female pain.On Internet Archive

But I think I hate that kind of interpretation because I actually find it convincing. As much as I want to read Twin Peaks (particularly Fire Walk With Me) as important analyses of female pain and the horrors of patriarchy, ultimately it's a series created by two (white) men.Permalink On Internet Archive

That's an extra-textual point but I don't think you can escape it. Particularly if we're looking at analyses like Kreider's which includes extra-textual interpretations of Lynch's other works. We can't escape that male (/masc) register.Permalink On Internet Archive

If this male discussion of female pain was my problem with Suspiria (2018) (medium.com/@SimonXIX/suspiria-2018-edd59db05837), why don't I feel the same way about Twin Peaks?Permalink On Internet Archive
