Page 2 Filmphernalia Screenopticals: Laura and the Return ofTwin Peaks Two news screenopticals have been posted to Filmospheric since the inaugural issue of Filmphernalia came out last month. Both have one name in common: Laura. The first article analyzes Otto Preminger’s Laura (1944) that has been widely rated as a great noir film. As a noir and mystery fan, I offer my two cents on the movie as a murder mystery with noir elements. My verdict sits on the mystery side of the movie, and I offer my reasons in the article. The second piece is about Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) by David Lynch and Mark Frost. It was evoked by the recent social media hype about the supposed third season of Lynch and Frost’s classic 1990 show Twin Peaks (my teenage crush). I contend that The Return is Twin Peaks in name only. It should have been called something else as it is really not the return to the original show. It was the return of the now late and ever great David Lynch, but not close to the original Twin Peaks. Read these screenopticals on Filmospheric site (carousel).
