PART 8

"...for the most part, Lynch would probably rather we not engage with this episode with our conscious, puzzle-solving mind. It’s better to take it in as an experience: to be awed by the beauty of the pictures and stunned by the inventiveness and passion with which Lynch distorts and destroys them. Considered that way — as something to see and hear, and to react to on a primal level — this hour was phenomenal."

"[Part 8] of Twin Peaks is one of the greatest hours of television I’ve ever seen: horrifying, horrifyingly beautiful, thought-provoking and thought-annihilating; a work that owes as much to expressionistic and surreal painting, musical performance, and installation art as it does to narrative and experimental cinema. "

"...both as a piece of Twin Peaks backstory and as an episode of television, Part 8 is as unexpected, as shocking, as thrilling as anything I’ve ever seen."
