We think there’s no better way to pay homage to David Lynch’s legacy than to celebrate Twin Peaks Day a.k.a. the fateful date that Special Agent Dale Cooper drove into the town of Twin Peaks for the first time.
“Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” was Lynch’s harrowing attempt to close the book on both his signature series and arguably his most memorable and tragic character. Scorned on its initial release, it’s now widely pointed to as the dark, beating heart of Lynch’s art.
