The premier episode of the surreal television series, where a straitlaced FBI agent must discover who killed the troubled, coke-addled high school prom queen in a small Pacific Northwest logging town whose bucolic exterior barely conceals an fetid underbelly of corruption and evil. Includes unaired footage which "solves" the mystery of the killing, seen in the U.S. as a dream sequence in the first regular episode. Features the soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti, including the theme song "Falling." [More]

Shadows on the Wall

Occupies worlds of the natural, the supernatural, and the (wilfully, purposefully, and often wittily) clichéd.

When you're working with David Lynch you can count on every frame meaning something. For me that's half the fun of the show - it's a puzzle that I feel oblidged to solve or at the very least plug away at.

Like the lonesome foghorn, there are many signs to be interpreted and heeded, and their meaning and provenance is not always clear.

Equal parts murder mystery, soap opera and psychic surrealism: a Lynchian triumph
