Cast: Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Ontkean, Mädchen Amick, Piper Laurie
Synopsis:
A small town in Washington state is rocked by the discovery of high school beauty Laura Palmer's naked body washed up in a plastic bag. An FBI detective comes to investigate, and finds a community riven with intrigue of one sort or another.
Review:
The pilot for an ABC TV series that then ran to two and, much later, a third, this was clearly conceived as an extension of the themes present in Blue Velvet, underlined by the same actor's participation, though with a more arch, soap-operatic bent. Thus we see an apparently contented town, full of wholesomeness and wealth from the lumber business, shocked by a senseless murder, and gradually Lynch unpeels the layers of deceit and depravity until he unlocks the door to another dimension.
