Twin Peaks: The Return recently ended its 18 hour run on Showtime and with that it can be said that the 41 year old cable channel finally made good on its name. Directed by David Lynch and co-written with Mark Frost, The Return see-sawed from soaring fly-overs of Manhattan and Vegas to suffocating dungeons infested with oily-skinned ghosts. It was pictorial storytelling on a grand scale, a work of epic surrealism that challenged the capabilities of any ordinary television screen.
If Lynch and Frost viewed the 1990 incarnation of Twin Peaks as a relatively benign first draft populated by lovable eccentrics, Twin Peaks: The Return could be seen as a take-no-prisoners revision,...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only).

David Lynch: The Art Life (Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm)
Before David Lynch was a filmmaker, he was a struggling painter, whose lifeblood was to “drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and paint.” That’s what he dubbed “the art life,” and what an image – as featured in the many contemporary photos seen in this new documentary – it is, the bequiffed 20-something Lynch sitting back in his Philadelphia studio,...

While the vast majority of our favorite films of last year have been treated with Blu-ray releases, one title near the top of the list we’ve been waiting the longest for is Kelly Reichardt‘s Certain Women. It looks like it’s been worth the wait as The Criterion Collection have unveiled their September releases and it’s leading the pack (with special features also an interview with the director and Todd Haynes!).
Also getting a release in September, is Michael Haneke‘s Isabelle Huppert-led The Piano Teacher and the recent documentary David Lynch: The Art Life (arriving perfectly-timed to the end of the new Twin Peaks). There’s also Alfred Hitchcock‘s classic psychodrama Rebecca and the concert film Festival, featuring Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, and many more.
Check out the high-resolution cover art and full details on the releases below, with more on Criterion’s site.

Five new movies are joining the Criterion Collection in September, two of which were released in the last year: Kelly Reichardt’s spare, moving “Certain Women” and the documentary “David Lynch: The Art Life.” Also getting the Criterion treatment are Michael Haneke’s “The Piancho Teacher,” starring Isabelle Huppert; “Rebecca,” Alfred Hitchcock’s adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel and his first American production; and Murray Lerner’s documentary “Festival,” which features performances by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, among others.
It isn’t Criterion’s most exciting month, but there’s still much to look forward to. Details below, including Criterion’s own descriptions:

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.What's an FBI Special Agent to do after being locked away for 25 years in unearthly purgatory? Episodes three and four of Mark Frost and David Lynch's revived Twin Peaks, which aired on Showtime this past Sunday in a two-hour block (aside from September's two-part finale, it's all single, hour-long episodes from hereon out), follow our besuited, Black Lodge-incarcerated hero Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) as he reintegrates into modern terrestrial society. So this is basically Peaks doing Rectify, just with a sterile death row replaced by an infernal hellscape out of Clive Barker. Or David Lynch, really. What's becoming more and more evident as the new Peaks progresses is that the series is, in large part, a repository for Lynch's subconscious, past and present.

Berlin Syndrome (Cate Shortland)
While the recent 10 Cloverfield Lane and Room told stories of captivity with various hooks — science-fiction and the process of healing, respectively — Cate Shortland’s approach in her latest, harrowing drama Berlin Syndrome makes room for more nuance and depth. Locked in a Berlin apartment, there is little hope for our protagonist for nearly the entire runtime. And while some of the story’s turns can feel overtly manipulative,...

It would seem there’s no need for another documentary about David Lynch, among the most well-documented filmmakers of this or any other era and subject of at least two previous films, Lynch and Lynch 2. Good news, then: David Lynch: The Art Life finds new ground in both story and form, alternating between his California workspace as he lovingly crafts any number of unclassifiable objects before our eyes and a series of archival materials — including, as far as I can tell, Lynch-shot material that’s never been publicly released — complemented by Lynch’s genteel exposition on his younger years.
Jon Nguyen, the film’s co-director (credited alongside Olivia Neergaard-Holm and Rick Barnes) sat down with us to get into the finer points of his project, its visual and emotional complexities being further revealed in our talk. But don’t just take my word for it. As went our review...

It may have taken a handful of decades, but it appears as though director David Lynch is finally garnering the critical appreciation that he so rightly deserves. Be it the brilliant Dennis Lim-penned biography/critical meditation The Man From Another Place or the pending revival of his cult hit Twin Peaks television series, Lynch has gone from cult icon to something far more influential and genuinely important. As singular and esoteric a voice as film has seen since he began working in film, Lynch is also now the subject of a superlative biographical documentary.
Entitled David Lynch: The Art Life, the film comes to us from directors Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes and Olivia Neergaard-Holm, and is a breathlessly intimate look at the filmmaker’s life from birth and childhood to his journey to Philadelphia and ultimately how he ended up getting behind the camera for what would become one of...

Continuing their relationship with David Lynch, Janus Films recently acquired David Lynch: The Art Life, a documentary about the artist’s early days and, in particular, relationship with painting. Directors Jon Nguyen, Olivia Neergaard-Holm, and Rick Barnes seemingly succeeded: our review out of last year’s London Film Festival called it a “wonderful” picture, and one fans can’t afford to miss.
Thankfully, its theatrical rollout kicks off next month, ahead of which there’s an intriguing trailer that gives some taste of its archival wealth and Lynch’s own narration. There should be plenty more of that to come: as we said in our review, “The way the film focuses on these intriguing snippets that left a mark on the director is this film’s greatest strength. There’s much to interest the Lynch fan here, but it also might be an unparalleled assessment of the artistic learning of a great American filmmaker.

All caught up with our top 50 films of 2016? It’s now time to look to the new year, and, ahead of our 100 most-anticipated films, we’re highlighting 50 titles we’ve enjoyed on the festival circuit this last year (and beyond) that will likely see a release in 2016.

Before David Lynch was a filmmaker, he was a struggling painter, whose lifeblood was to “drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and paint.” That’s what he dubbed “the art life,” and what an image – as featured in the many contemporary photos seen in this new documentary – it is, the bequiffed 20-something Lynch sitting back in his Philadelphia studio, composing transgressive abstract artwork. Bookmarked by footage of Lynch working on his latest paintings in his Hollywood Hills penthouse, the wonderful new documentary David Lynch: The Art Life showcases the artistic developments of one of America’s most singular directors.
Lynch’s childhood was in not-so-different a setting of one of his trademark films. He moved around small-town America wherever the Us Department of Agriculture sent his father, a research scientist, growing up in rural Montana, or Spokane, Idaho (near the setting of Twin Peaks), before moving to Virginia near DC.
