by David Lavery

Full of Secrets: Critical Approaches to Twin Peaks (Contemporary Film and Television) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Full Of Secrets contains virtually everything you need to know about 'Twin Peaks.' This fascinating collection of essays considers David Lynch's politics, the enigmatic musical score, and the show's cult status, treatment of family violence, obsession with doubling, and silencing of women.

Book News Annotation:

Essential reading for "Peakies," fans of director David Lynch's cult TV series "Twin Peaks." Contains critical essays, plus lists of cast members, directors, and writers for each episode, a calendar of red- letter dates in the show's convoluted plot, and a scene breakdown of every episode. Essays discuss topics such as the art and politics of the show, its use of music, a feminist reading of "Twin Peaks," and postmodernism and television. No pictures.
