Film & TV

In a ‘normal’ detective series we are presented with a clue and then the detectives will spend some time trying to ascertain what the relevance of the clue is – and then how it brings us closer to the truth. Twin Peaks does not follow this at all.

Lynch doesn’t keep us waiting long – in the opening scenes there is a disturbing close-up into beetles in the grass.

This is a comedy. It took me a few scenes to realise. It’s just that dry. But when you realise it is perfection. Like laugh-out-loud funny.

I really can’t understand why this is one of the ‘must watch films’ and on lots of top movie lists. The characters are all two dimensional.

Almost instantly you are intrigued – then you’re hooked. The reality of the situations and believability of the performances are fantastic.

The opening credits felt very long – like old school running the entire cast long. The sombre delivery of the wrong body at the start sets the mood.

Coming into the story towards the end is handled really well here and the surreal conversation with a younger version of himself is great.

This is a bizarre film that riles against all the norms of story telling as well as the norms of the western and the rise of the anti-hero.

This is a really interesting film with some great performances. The creative team, led by Rakeysh Mehra, are given too much leeway.

This film is a remake – reimagining – of the final two episodes of the TV Series Neon Genesis: Evangelion
