TWIN PEAKS SERIES

A surreal fusion of coffee, cherry pie, and small-town mystery, the cult phenomenon Twin Peaks (1990) and its revival, Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series (2017), open a portal into the distinctive creative worlds of the late visionary David Lynch and storyteller Mark Frost. Redefining television with its radical mix of campy soap opera, noir, and surrealism, Twin Peaks earned multiple Emmy nominations and inspired a fiercely loyal cult following.

What begins with the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in a quiet Washington town soon spirals into a hypnotic web of secrets and supernatural forces, forcing FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) to navigate dreamscapes and shadow worlds where time unravels and nothing is as it seems. Spanning two original seasons and the groundbreaking return, Twin Peaks is a haunting and transformative journey into the unknown.

CARNAL KNOWLEDGE

Mike Nichols’ unsparing Carnal Knowledge (1971) follows two emotionally stunted college friends, Jonathan (Jack Nicholson) and Sandy (Art Garfunkel) in the ‘40s as they pursue love and sex but struggle to form emotional connections. Idealising women while fearing real intimacy, they drift through failed relationships—Sandy with ive disappointment, Jonathan with growing misogyny and detachment. The film charts their inability to see women as equals, revealing the quiet tragedy of lives shaped by fantasy and emotional immaturity.

Taking place over multiple decades and ending in the ‘70s when the film was released, Nichols interrogates the psyche of post-war masculinity and captures the disillusionment of the sexes in the wake of the sexual revolution.

Carnal Knowledge (Nichols, 1971) – 6th June

AN EVENING WITH BEVERLY LUFF LINN

In Jim Hosking’s offbeat An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn (2018), Lulu flees her miserable marriage and teams up with bumbling thief Colin to hide out in a hotel where her enigmatic former flame, Beverly Luff Linn, is set to perform a mysterious evening show: ‘An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn; For One Magical Night Only’.

Deliberately kitschy and retro in style, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn embraces the absurd with its deadpan delivery, stylised tone and intentionally stiff performances, creating a self-conscious oddness and truly original experience.

An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn (Hosking, 2018) – 13th June

TRANSIT

Set in a modern-day Paris occupied by foreign troops, Christian Petzold’s Transit (2018) sees German refugee Georg (Franz Ragowski) flee to Marseille while assuming the identity of a deceased writer. There he delves into the delicate culture of the refugee community, becomes involved in the lives of a mother and son, and meets the writer’s enigmatic wife Marie (Paula Beer).

By transposing WWII-era themes into a hauntingly modern setting, Petzold creates a timeless, dislocated world that blurs history and present, unfolding like a purgatorial dream where the past repeats itself through endless bureaucracy.

Transit (Petzold, 2018) – 14th June

ALPS

In Yorgos Lanthimos’s provocative Alps (2011), a group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process.

In this cold, clinical world where grief is managed through ritualistic role-playing, Lanthimos highlights the human need to impose meaning on loss, even if that meaning becomes a prison.
