Twin Peaks (alternative title: The Secret of Twin Peaks ) is an American television series from 1990, 1991 and 2017, developed by David Lynch and Mark Frost . It can be assigned to the genres of crime , mystery and horror films , but also contains elements of a classic soap opera . During the investigation into a murder case, a labyrinth of sex, drugs, lies and violence is uncovered that is hidden behind the idyllic facade of the small town of Twin Peaks. Especially in the second season, supernatural and fantastic elements come to the fore.

The pilot film was broadcast on the US TV station ABC on April 8, 1990, and the first German dubbed version on September 10, 1991 on RTL plus . The series originally consisted of a pilot and 29 episodes, a retrospective prequel entitled Twin Peaks - The Movie premiered on May 16, 1992.

Above all, the critics praised the first season, which had profoundly shaped American television and scored points with its wit and humor. Twin Peaks has been awarded three Golden Globes and two Emmys , among others . On the Metacritic website , which summarizes reviews from various editors, the Metascore of the first season is 96 percent.

In October 2014, it was announced that Showtime was planning a revival of the series in the form of a third season. This 18-part season was broadcast from May 21, 2017 to September 3, 2017. In Germany, Sky Deutschland secured the broadcasting rights and showed the episodes from May 22, 2017 in the original sound parallel to or in the German dubbed version four days after the US broadcast on Sky Atlantic HD .

content

The main theme of the first season and the first half of the second season is the investigation of the murder of Laura Palmer, led by FBI agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle MacLachlan ). In the course of the investigation, the abysses of the seemingly idyllic small town life come to light. The creators know how to mix plots of American crime series with ironically exaggerated stylistic devices of the soap opera and also to weave in numerous surreal and mystical elements. The investigation ends in episode 16 with the conviction and suicide of the murderer, Laura Palmer's father Leland. However, the real culprit, a demonic spirit called BOB, who is able to take possession of humans, cannot be destroyed.

The remainder of the second season, which follows on from the Palmer investigation, revolves around the search for Cooper's former FBI colleague and mentor Windom Earle. Cooper once had an affair with Earle's wife, who was to appear as a witness in a court case and was placed under Cooper's protection until the trial. Earle murdered his wife in a delusional state and was admitted to a mental institution for it. Since then, there has been enmity between Earle and Cooper. Earle manages to escape to Twin Peaks, where he imposes a game of chess on Cooper from afar, in which a person loses his life for every piece beaten. While Cooper and his helpers from the sheriff's office are feverishly looking for a trace of the fugitive ex-police officer, they find out that Windom Earle's real goal is the search for the so-called black hut. This mystical place in the forests of Twin Peaks is considered to be the gathering point of evil, from which, for example, the evil spirit BOB threatens the city. Earle hopes to gain great power with the help of the Black Shack. After Earle Cooper kidnaps new love Annie Blackburn, Cooper finally follows him to the Black Hut. There Earle is killed by BOB after an unsuccessful attempt to murder Cooper and Cooper gains insight into the nature of the place. There he meets his devilish doppelganger, his shadowy self. Cooper can leave the Black Hut together with Annie, but back in Twin Peaks it turns out that Cooper stayed in the Black Hut, whereas his shadow self and BOB have merged into Twin Peaks. At this point the series ended with an open ending that had long been assumed as such . The third season continues the events in terms of content and production technology after more than 25 years.

Intro

Collar choke

The opening sequence of the first and second season episodes leaves a lasting impression. A collar throttle lifts its head, smoke rises from chimneys into the winter sky. Spark-spraying grinding wheels sharpen circular saw blades. Then the lettering Twin Peaks with the population 51,201, followed by the eponymous double mountain peak.

Production process

David Lynch and Mark Frost met in 1986 on the initiative of Tony Krantz, who represented both authors with his Creative Artists Agency (CAA). The first joint projects emerged: scripts such as Goddess or One Saliva Bubble (1987) did not find any buyers. Krantz then suggested they both try a television series together. He saw this as an opportunity to combine Frost's experience at Hill Street Police Station with Lynch's visionary lateral thinking. After initial skepticism, the two of them sat down and developed a script called The Lemurians for the pilot of a series about a couple of detectives who have to fight against aliens who have sneaked into the earth's population. The broadcaster NBC , Frost's employer, rejected the script. As a result, in August 1988, they both set to work on a new script: Northwest Passage . The idea behind the project was to let a murder happen in a soap opera , on which the entire content is then based. The setting should be a small town in the north of the USA. To find your way around, Frost designed a map of the city and its surroundings. The city was located between two mountains and the authors renamed their project Twin Peaks (twin peaks ). After three months of fruitful discussion, Lynch and Frost wrote the script for the pilot in ten days. The television broadcaster ABC showed itself ready to finance the pilot film, leaving the creators with the necessary freedom.

The right location was found 50 kilometers east of Seattle in Snoqualmie and North Bend. They featured the lake with a waterfall and two snow-capped mountains on the horizon, Mount Si and Little Si, as intended by the authors. Under the direction of Lynch, the exterior shots were made there in March 1989, the interior scenes were created in the San Fernando Valley in the City Studios. “ In 21 days of filming, it was done […] The people in charge at ABC liked my work, but at the same time they were scared, ” recalls Lynch.

In May 1989 there was a demonstration for international program buyers, which was a great success: Twin Peaks was later sold in 55 countries. ABC commissioned a makeshift series of seven episodes.

In September 1989, the pilot was officially premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. The reviews ranged from positive to praise, but the broadcaster feared that it had produced a series for mere movie lovers. When the film finally aired on US television at 9 p.m. on April 8, 1990, it became clear that they had landed a hit: 35 million viewers followed the pilot, which corresponded to a share of 33 percent.

After this initial high, Mark Frost and David Lynch were hired by ABC broadcaster in May 1990 to produce another season consisting of a second pilot and twelve episodes.

The broadcaster urged Lynch and Frost: " You have to reveal the murderer of Laura Palmer ." However, both intended never to expose the murderer. After the reveal, the series lost more and more viewers. This intervention by the broadcaster changed the script and the planned series massively. This was mainly reflected in dramaturgical aspects, so that the audience core interested in the further course of the series was overwhelmed by the accumulation of mystery aspects and a depth of the material that did not correspond to the previous series. The material, which was partly intended for the third season - if available - had to be worked into the script of the second season by Mark Frost, as production was discontinued at the end of the second season. Mark Frost worked on his years of preoccupation with the twin peaks substance in his book Seven, which had been inhibited by the end of the series .

In addition, for those countries that only wanted to broadcast the pilot film of the first season as an independent feature film, a special “international ending” of around 20 minutes was produced in which the storylines were resolved and the murderer exposed. Parts of these sequences were also used in the series as dream scenes in the 2nd regular season.

In the US broadcast, the individual episodes were introduced by “Loglady” - because it was still uncommon for the German first broadcast to begin with the action before the title sequences, these passages only had their premiere with the DVD release.

In 1992 David Lynch brought the film Twin Peaks - The film , which in the English original is called Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me , in the cinemas. It is an immediate prequel to the series, so it shows the murder of Laura Palmer and its background. The great success did not materialize, not least due to the fact that much of what had made up the Twin Peaks series could not be reproduced here or only in abridged form, such as the numerous eccentric characters.

The first season was released on DVD in Germany in November 2002 . Due to licensing disputes, the appearance of the second season was delayed by several years. Worldwide protests by the fan base initially had no effect. The first part of the second season has been available since January 2007, the second part since the beginning of April of the same year. A "Gold Box" with the entire series and extensive bonus material has also been available since October 2007.

Episode title

In the US original, the individual episodes of the first season had no titles. RTL plus came up with titles for German television broadcasting, which were translated into English when the series was repeated on US cable television and were later adopted worldwide. For the second season, David Lynch then set his own episode titles.

Charisma

The great success in Germany may not have been due not least because RTL plus broadcast the series on Fridays at 9:10 p.m., a time with traditionally low ratings for the series' main target group. In addition, the competitor broadcaster Sat.1 revealed the name of Laura Palmer's murderer on the homepage (100) of its teletext offer. RTL plus only showed the first 21 episodes of the series, the last episodes were submitted in Germany by Tele 5 under the title "Twin Peaks - The Secret Goes On". Sky Atlantic showed the third season in 2017

influence

Twin Peaks is full of ambiguities and references to other stories. Most striking are the direct and indirect quotes and reminiscences of television series and family films of the 1950s and the film noir . Numerous figures such as James Hurley as James Dean / Marlon Brando imitation or the high school girls with their dresses refer to this time and should thereby create a certain timelessness. The names of the characters also refer directly to other film and series characters. Gunther Reinhardt names, for example, Auf der Flucht , Vertigo - From the Realm of the Dead , Boulevard of Twilight and One-Eyed Jacks .

Gunther Reinhardt writes, “It's hard to find a series that has been on the air since the 1990s that hasn't been influenced in any way by Twin Peaks . Even if the references aren't always as obvious as in Chris Carter's mystery series The X-Files - The FBI's Scary Cases , which in turn sparked a boom in mystery series in the 1990s. The leading actor at the time, David Duchovny , already played with Twin Peaks . ”( Gunther Reinhardt : Twin Peaks. 100 pages).

Numerous other formats were influenced by twin peaks . The accumulation of bizarre characters and their surreal storylines can also be seen in Ally McBeal , Picket Fences - Tatort Gartenzaun , Hospital of Ghosts and, of all things, Alaska . In the structure of the drama, 24 and Murder One are reminiscent of the television classic. On the one hand, a main plot is followed for hours; at the same time, new sub- plots that clearly play with the expectations of the audience and only partially meet them will be introduced and will soon be completed. Each individual episode contains the plot of a given time window ( 24 one hour each, Murder One and Twin Peaks one day each). In addition, elements of Twin Peaks have been and are cited in numerous other films and television series, for example in The Simpsons (in several episodes of the cartoon). The Belgian series Stille Waters (2001) also shares numerous characteristics with Twin Peaks , so there is also an incident of abuse in the vicinity of a sawmill. More recent examples of the series' influence on contemporary productions can be found in Wayward Pines or Riverdale . There was even a parody called Twin Beaks on Sesame Street . The computer game Life Is Strange also has a number of references or influences from twin peaks .

synchronization

The series, including additional materials, was synchronized in three steps. T. different dubbing results:

  • The first two seasons of the series were dubbed by Interopa Film GmbH, Berlin (dialogue book: Theodor Dopheide, dialogue director: Joachim Kerzel ) for the first broadcast on RTLplus from September 1991,
  • the cinema film by Berliner Synchron GmbH Wenzel Lüdecke (written and directed by Heinz Freitag) for the 1992 theatrical release
  • and the third season 2017 by Cinephon Filmproduktions GmbH, Berlin (dialogue book: Uli Johannson, Andreas W. Schmidt, dialogue director: Reinhard Knapp) on behalf of Sky Deutschland .

This resulted in a double cast: Stefan Fredrich speaks Hank Jennings in the first two seasons, while Leo Johnson speaks in the movie.

Location of the main location Snoqualmie in relation to Seattle , the largest city in the state of Washington

The town of Twin Peaks is an invention of David Lynch. The exterior shots of the TV series were filmed in the small town of Snoqualmie (about 10,670 inhabitants), 35 kilometers east of Seattle in the foothills of the Cascade Range . Although Lynch had set the population of Twin Peaks in the script at 5,120, he prevailed against ABC during the production of the pilot film with the desire to set the size to at least 50,000 inhabitants. Lynch increased the population tenfold by adding a 1 at the end, which is why the number 51,201 can be read on the place-name sign in the opening credits of Twin Peaks.

Big Ed's Gas Farm

Big Ed Hurley's gas station. It is located on the main street of the town of Twin Peaks, near the exit to the north. Right across the street is Ed's house, where he lives with his eccentric wife Nadine . As in most of his films, David Lynch let himself be guided by his feelings and only changed the look and name of the original location Big Edd's Diner Station on the filming location Snoqualmie in order to transform it into Big Ed Hurley's Gas Farm on the set of Twin Peaks .

Black hut

The Black Lodge (Engl. Black Lodge ) comes loud series script of the mythology of Native Americans . Deputy Hawk briefly and succinctly explains the background of the Black Hut and the White Hut to Agent Cooper in his capacity as a member of an Indian tribe. According to Deputy Hawk, this is an extra-dimensional place in which the human soul can get after a certain encounter and examination. In front of these two places there is a room ( waiting room with red curtains) that Cooper dreams of and in which, among other things, the dancing dwarf or the man from another place (MFAP, Man from Another Place) is. At certain times (planetary constellations) this place can be entered through a special portal, which is located in the woods of the city of Twin Peaks, like a kind of corridor (Glastonberry Grove).

The huts were the subject of an investigation by a secret special unit of the US Air Force (Project Blue Book), to which Garland Briggs and Windom Earle belonged. Cooper's ex-partner Windom Earle, who was the smartest of all employees there and was way ahead of his colleagues with his knowledge of the huts, was specifically looking for access to the Black Hut. According to his own statements, he wanted to make his own powers that the Black Hut holds ready to fundamentally reorganize the world. This knowledge had already been gathered by ancient wizards from the Tibetan highlands who call themselves Dugpas (Red Hats). Windom Earle was removed from the Blue Book project after announcing his knowledge (video lecture) and conducted his research independently.

Phillip Jeffries, a missing FBI agent, reports in the film Twin Peaks - The Film that he was once at a meeting of people who had a connection to an extra-dimensional place. Participants included Margaret Lanterman's missing husband, BOB, the MFAP, Mrs. Chalfont and her grandson Pierre.

The waiting room as well as the huts probably contain the same or similar environments that are fundamentally different from those on earth. A characteristic of the Black Hut, for example, is that it conveys a feeling of fear and appears in flickering light. The physical laws are more like those of a dream or a fantasy . In addition, “everything runs backwards there” (Windom Earle, script), which is expressed in the fact that the future seems to be known and everyone present speaks in reverse.

Double R diner

A café and at the same time the most popular meeting place in Twin Peaks. The owner of the Double R is Norma Jennings . Shelly Johnson also works as a waitress at Double R. Norma's (ex) husband Hank Jennings also works at Double R after he was released from prison.

In reality, the Double R is now called Twede's Cafe (formerly Thompson's Cafe and during the filming of Twin Peaks The Mar-T Diner ) and is located in North Bend / Issaquah , a city in the US state of Washington , which is one of the two main filming locations for TV Series was. Even today, Twede's Cafe advertises the cherry cake known from the series and - as Agent Cooper always put it - "damn good coffee".

Objects

Although Garmonbozia already appears in the series, its real meaning only becomes known in the prequel to the series, Twin Peaks - The Movie . In a physical sense, Garmonbozia takes the form of cooked corn. It can be seen in the series when Donna Laura's food-on-wheels route takes over and brings boiled corn to the Tremonds (an elderly lady and her magically gifted grandson Pierre).

In a broader sense, Garmonbozia describes “the pain and suffering” of people. It serves as a staple food (and probably a drug as well) for both BOB and Mike and the rest of the Black Hut residents .

Awards (selection)

Twin Peaks won 13 film awards and was nominated for 39 more. In 1990 the series got 14 Emmy nominations, but could only win 2 of them. Mark Frost said: “ The Emmy Academy, the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences or whatever they call themselves, is a very conservative, inflexible organization. And they are not open to innovation in the awards. For me it was a confirmation of our outsider status. We didn't try to be conventional. Why should we expect conventional awards? "

In addition, Kyle MacLachlan, Piper Laurie and the Lynch / Frost creative team were each awarded a Golden Globe in 1991 . Johanna Ray received an Artios Award from the Casting Society of America for best casting in a television series and the series was honored with the UK Broadcasting Press Guild Award for best foreign television series.

Revival through Showtime

Mark Frost and David Lynch met in August 2012 to work on a sequel in anticipation of the series' 25th anniversary. After writing the first drafts of the scripts, they started looking for a suitable television station. On October 6, 2014, the cable broadcaster Showtime announced that a third season is planned. It was agreed with Frost and Lynch that this would consist of nine episodes based on a single 400-page script. The aim was for all episodes to be filmed at the same time, with Lynch directing and, at the end, the individual scenes being cut into episodes. There was a hint of a possible sequel at a later date in the third episode, Zen or the Art of Capturing a Murderer (1990). In this episode, Cooper meets the murdered Laura Palmer as an older man and a short man. In the course of this scene Laura says to Cooper: "I'll see you again in 25 years." ("I'll see you again in 25 years.").

In the sequel, only Frost and Lynch were responsible for the scripts. Kyle MacLachlan was hired as the first actor from the previous seasons . David Lynch should direct again. In April 2015, however, Lynch stated that his contract negotiations with Showtime had failed and that he would not direct. The reason for this were budget concerns at Showtime. Lynch was hoping to produce more episodes than the nine contracted. After protests on social networks, Lynch and Showtime announced a month later that an agreement had been reached after all. More than the initially planned nine episodes are now also ordered. The costs for the new season were in a similar order of magnitude as other Showtime drama series. Production was originally scheduled to start in September 2015 but was postponed to 2016. The broadcast began on May 21, 2017. The first two of the 18 new episodes were also shown at the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival . The plot of the third season should go in a different direction than its two predecessors. Those responsible for marketing the series are very cautious about the details . The film was shot until the end of 2016, partly again in Snoqualmie , Washington . However, most of the days of shooting took place in Southern California . In contrast to the prehistory, there should also be arcs that are not located in the Pacific Northwest .

A total of over 200 new characters were written for the third season, played by Laura Dern , Naomi Watts , Michael Cera , Jennifer Jason Leigh , Ashley Judd , Tim Roth and Robert Forster , among others . In addition to MacLachlan, some other actors from the first two seasons play their roles again, such as Mädchen Amick (Shelly Johnson), Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne), Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer), David Lynch (FBI Chief Gordon Cole), David Duchovny (Denise Bryson), Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs), Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan), Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran / Brennan), Grace Zabriskie (Sarah Palmer) and Ray Wise (Leland Palmer). Some actors such as Warren Frost (Dr. Will Hayward), Catherine E. Coulson (The Log Lady) and Miguel Ferrer (FBI agent Albert Rosenfeld) participate in the series but died before the premiere. Other cast members from previous leading roles such as Michael Ontkean (Sheriff Harry S. Truman), Joan Chen (Josie Packard) and Lara Flynn Boyle (Donna Hayward) are not returning.

Some episodes of the new season also feature bands in the Roadhouse , a pub in Twin Peaks. The following songs are performed in the series:

  • Episode 3x02: Shadow - Chromatics
  • Episode 3x03: Mississippi - The Cactus Blossoms
  • Episode 3x04: Lark - Au Revoir Simone
