It’s well known that David Lynch enjoys a damn fine cup of coffee, but the man is serious about his commitment to caffeine: He’s even got his own coffee line.
It makes sense that the filmmaker wouldn’t go the standard celebrity beverage route with a liquor brand — this is a man so serious about coffee that he remembers his first cup at the tender age of three. That’s why he teamed up with Allegro Coffee to create David Lynch Signature Cup Coffee, which comes in both a House and an Espresso blend.
“For me, it’s the flavor. It should have no bitterness, and it should be smooth and rich in flavor,” Lynch said in a 2014 interview discussing his foray into coffee roasting. “I like to drink espresso with milk,...

For most television and film fanatics, Kyle MacLachlan is best known—or at least, most familiar—for his turn in David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” as Agent Dale Cooper. Beyond that, MacLachlan has had a varied career over the decades that has led him from multiple genres and formats and, depending on the filmmaker, genres within genres. In his latest outing, he rejoins his “Hamlet” co-star Ethan Hawke and director Michael Almereyda for the unique biopic, “Tesla.”

Kyle MacLachlan just gets better with age. At 61, he has settled into playing the kinds of characters who are older and less fleet-footed than roles like Special Agent Dale Cooper in “Twin Peaks” or even the impotent Trey MacDougal in “Sex and the City.” But he still has his very particular, good-natured charm.
In “Tesla,” Michael Almereyda’s dazzling and postmodern anti-biopic of the life and work of inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke), MacLachlan plays Tesla’s colleague and eventual foe Thomas Edison. The longtime rivalry between these two eccentrics remains one of history’s fiercest, with their developments of AC and DC currents, respectively, sparking a bitter feud that rocked the late 19th century.
Though MacLachlan has solidified his reputation for playing fictional characters in the films of David Lynch, the Emmy-nominated actor slips into the role of Edison with ease. But he doesn’t quite disappear,...

The third season of Twin Peaks was some of the greatest television I’ve ever seen. Arriving 26 years after season 2 wrapped up, David Lynch and Mark Frost’s TV comeback smashed all expectations, continuing the story started so long ago while taking us in some intense and crazy new directions. The season ended on an appropriately enigmatic tone as well, with Agent Dale Cooper apparently trapped in the past with an alternate version of Laura Palmer.
Since that third season won a ton of awards (Cahiers du cinema even named it as their “film of the year”), there’s been talk of a fourth run and now, star Kyle MacLachlan has said he’d drop everything to work on the show again. In an interview with ComicBook.com, he explained the following:
“I think, first and foremost, this is the Twin Peaks that David Lynch wanted to make and that makes me incredibly happy for him.

At heart, Zoé Wittock’s “Jumbo” is a rather conventional European dramedy about a single mother (the great Emmanuelle Bercot) struggling to accept the woman her daughter has become. On its surface, however, this pleasantly delirious feature debut tells the fable-like story of Jeanne, a young loner (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire” breakout Noémie Merlant) who develops a deep psychosexual attraction to the tilt-a-whirl ride at the rundown Belgian amusement park where she works. So much that she orgasms at the thought of jet-black oil jizzing out of its metal parts and enveloping her nude body like the symbiote from “Venom.” Splitting the difference between “Terms of Endearment” and David Cronenberg’s “Crash” in a way that’s often sweet and surreal (but never sinister), Wittock essentially takes an ultra-familiar premise and coats it with the candied shell of something you’ve never seen before.

Out of all of David Lynch’s work, it really seems like Twin Peaks is going to be his defining creation. The illustrious, weirdo director has had a very storied career, almost winning an Oscar for an arthouse piece featuring Justin Theroux talking to a spooky Cowboy Ghost who secretly runs Hollywood. However, nothing has quite penetrated, and confused, the cultural zeitgeist like Twin Peaks.
We have Agent Dale Cooper memes, entire Psych episodes dedicated to recreating the show and one of the most successful decades-later revivals to date. However, after watching even one episode of the cult series, everyone has one question: “What the heck just happened?”
But do not despair if Lynch’s sometimes-impenetrable narrative choices leave you feeling a little lost, as YouTube channel Twin Perfect has released a 4.5 hour-long video explaining every intricacy Twin Peaks has to offer. If you’re confused about the circumstances of Laura Palmer’s murder,...

“Twin Peaks” fans are abuzz over internet rumors that David Lynch is working on a secret follow-up to the Showtime limited series “Twin Peaks: The Return.”
As Av Club writer Britt Hayes reported in her own deep dive into the new “Twin Peaks” talk, the buzz started after the official Twitter account for the Hollywood Horror Museum posted a message stating, “Someone we know who is ‘in the know’ just let something very interesting slip about the future of ‘Twin Peaks.’ If it’s true, we’ll be squealing and giddy in 2020!” David Lynch’s daughter Jennifer is a board member of the museum, which is why the tweet gained traction online with “Twin Peaks” fans.
The museum’s post was followed by additional social media messages from “Twin Peaks” cast members Michael Horse (Deputy Hawk), who posted a photograph of his character being told to stay quiet, and Kyle MacLachlan.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Rewatch is a series of essays where Willow Maclay will be covering the streaming release of Hideaki Anno’s landmark anime show.Since around the 1990s, when serialized television started to overtake the medium and episodic storytelling fell by the wayside, television shows usually ended in climactic fashion with a definitive ending that wrapped everything up nicely. The best television series, however, end on an ellipsis. Some of this storytelling is incidental, a product of a show being cancelled before it could finish is story, but sometimes ending without the curtain coming down is the intended effect. David Lynch, popular American avant-garde director and chief mastermind behind the television series Twin Peaks, famously stated that he never wanted to solve the murder of “Who killed Laura Palmer?” because that question fuelled all of the narrative, and without an answer he could take the story in any direction he wanted.

As leggy and lithesome flower girl and undercover cop Julie Barnes on ABC’s “The Mod Squad,” Peggy Lipton, who is dead on age 72 from cancer on May 11, became a counter-cultural sex symbol alongside actors Michael Cole as long-haired Pete Cochran and Clarence Williams III as African-American Lincoln Hayes. The catchphrase for the series that lasted five seasons from 1968 to 1973, “One black, one white, one blonde,” might sound corny these days, but it was one of the first network shows to feature an integrated cast that also reflected the times were a-changing by tackling cases with social issues and using the cool jargon of the day.
Check out the clip above featuring a “Mod Squad” scene between Cole and Lipton.
As often was the case back in the ’60s, Lipton would cash in on her TV popularity by recording a self-titled album in 1968, tackling such tunes as Donovan‘s “Wear...

“Twin Peaks: The Return” allowed for explicit sex scenes on Showtime, one of which called upon Kyle MacLachlan and Naomi Watts to get intimate as the spaced-out Dougie and Janey-e Jones, respectively. The blocking of the sequence wasn’t especially conducive to romance, but MacLachlan managed to make it humorous by using his hands.
“Just because of the bed, his hands were sort of bouncing a little bit,” MacLachlan said during an appearance on PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing. “And the [cinematographer], Peter Deming, came over and said to me, ‘You gotta keep doing the hands. It’s very funny.’”
“Dougie is a character who’s constantly questioning,” MacLachlan said of Special Agent Dale Cooper’s alter ego. “Wherever we are, I’m wondering, ‘How is he going to react to this environment and to this situation?’ Because everything is for the first time. He’s like a child or a baby He doesn’t know anything,...

Former Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan is set to co-star opposite Patricia Heaton in CBS comedy pilot Carol’s Second Act, starring and executive produced by Heaton. It hails from Trophy Wife creators Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins, Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, Heaton and David Hunt’s FourBoys Entertainment and CBS TV Studios.
Written by Halpern and Haskins, Carol’s Second Act centers on Carol Chambers (Heaton), who after raising her two children and retiring from teaching, embarks on a unique second act: She’s going to become a doctor.
MacLachlan will play Dr. Frost. Handsome, affable and accomplished, he is the Senior Attending Physician on the ward (as well as the Department Chair) and thinks he’s funnier than he is. Considerably more empathetic than Dr. Maya (Ito Aghayere), Dr. Frost takes an immediate shine to Carol. Bonnie Dennison also co-stars.

In David Lynch's Twin Peaks, Kyle MacLachlan eerily transformed from Agent Dale Cooper to Dougie Jones and in last year's highly successful The House With A Clock In Its Walls, starring Cate Blanchett and Jack Black, Kyle morphed into a fantastically eldritch warlock, a role he enjoyed playing very much, he told me when we met. In high school he performed in Cole Porter's Anything Goes, Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers' Oklahoma!

The Grammys’ visual media-related categories tend to be buried as you scroll through the list of hundreds of Grammy nominations, but they represent some of the key music flashpoints of the past 12 to 15 months. There was probably no musical moment that put more chills down more spines than Keala Settle and a backing ensemble’s performance of “This Is Me” in “The Greatest Showman” or on the film’s soundtrack. Does the single peaking at No. 58 in the U.S. reflect that? Obviously not. The Carters’ “Apes**T” didn’t make the top 10, either, but if there were a scientific chart for memes, it would have been No. 1 with a bullet. If the sight of Jay-z and Beyoncé draping themselves across every nook and cranny of the Louvre didn’t set off a ton of “How did they do that?” talk in your immediate circle, you may be hanging out around the wrong water cooler.

It’s entirely possible we’ll never get another long-form moving-image work from David Lynch–though, if you’ll excuse my language, who the fuck knows; more on that in a second–but the artist has kept busy since Laura Palmer screamed all illumination from reality. The last few months alone brought the publication his excellent, thoroughly Lynchian memoir Room to Dream, and it was last week that we were gifted a new(-ish) album from him and maestro Angelo Badalamenti. Recorded in 1992 and recovered from the fallen-through cracks, this self-titled work from their collective, Thought Gang, is no footnote: the alternately smooth and assaultive jazz LP mixes soundscapes befitting its artists with, courtesy Badalamenti, occasional spoken-word segments as thrilling as they are goofy. (Per Lynch: “It’s sort of like jet-fueled jazz in a weird way…but it’s all based on stories. It’s Modern Music.”)

Chicago – At Chicago’s Michigan Avenue Magazine 10th Anniversary Issue event on September 11th, 2018, a surprise visitor joined cover celebrity Darren Criss, and his low-key appearance brought a stir of excitement to the room. Actor Kyle MacLachlan, best known for the extraordinary work in “Twin Peaks,” was in the house.
MacLachlan of course was Agent Dale Cooper, in the original run of “Twin Peaks” in 1990-91, the movie prequel “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” and the unforgettable 18 episode revisit to Tp by director/creator David Lynch, that played on the Showtime Network in 2017. But that’s not all for the Amazing Mr. MacLachlan.

Kyle MacLachlan was only 23 years old when he made his acting debut in David Lynch’s “Dune,” a major gig for even the most experienced actor. The movie was the start of the actor’s longtime friendship with the director, and MacLachlan knew pretty early on Lynch was going to be a trusted collaborator. MacLachlan recently joined GQ for a video interview looking back on his career and revealed an early memory of Lynch that sealed the deal on their friendship.
“The first screen test I did I had never seen a film camera before. I was looking down the barrel of the camera and I went completely blank,” MacLachlan said. “David came over to me. I told him, ‘I don’t think I can do this, David,’ and he said to me, ‘You’re gonna be great, it’s gonna be great, you’re gonna be fine. I know you can do it.

You may be disappointed, even angry, that Kyle MacLachlan didn’t receive an Emmy nomination for his masterful work on “Twin Peaks: The Return,” but the actor himself is handling the snub with all the grace you’d expect of one Special Agent Dale Cooper.
“It’d be disingenuous to say I wasn’t disappointed, but the best thing about it is that the role and the work is out there for people to see,” MacLachlan told IndieWire from Tiff, where his new film “Giant Little Ones” just had its world premiere in the Special Presentations section. “I’m proud of it, so that’s what’s most important, I guess. And there were a lot of nominations for the show in other categories.”

Veteran filmmaker Frederick Wiseman adds a quaint but important little chapter to his great oeuvre with Monrovia, Indiana. It’s 143 minutes long, which is about the equivalent of an Ep by the octogenarian’s standards, however running time is not exactly the most significant or intriguing departure Monrovia represents from Wiseman’s more recent output. Since National Gallery dropped in 2014–a rarity for the director in that it looked a topic from outside the United States–the director has released a masterful diptych of New York-set works, one which focused on what is said to be the most diverse neighborhood on the planet (In Jackson Heights) and another that looked at what is arguably the crown jewel of liberal, East coast democratic society: The New York Public Library (Ex Libris). According to a 2010 census, the town of Monrovia boasts a population of little more than 1,000 people and upwards of 97% of them are white.

After David Lynch’s Twin Peaks bowed on ABC in April 1990, it became a cultural phenomenon, producing two Emmys and 18 nominations. All these years later, Lynch is back in the running with three nominations for Showtime’s follow-up series Twin Peaks: The Return.

To create infamous cult leaders (“American Horror Story: Cult”), a legendary painter (“Genius: Picasso”), a world-renowned designer (“The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”) and the alter-egos of 1930s Hollywood (“The Last Tycoon”) — not to mention the return of one of the most beloved characters in television (Kyle MacLachlan’s FBI agent Dale Cooper in “Twin Peaks”) — the challenges in non-prosthetic makeup were equal parts honoring history and creating a legacy.

Eryn Krueger Mekash is often asked why “American Horror Story: Cult” used real footage of Marshall Applewhite when they recreated all other famous cult leaders. “We didn’t,” she says. “That’s Evan [Peters] in makeup. When you fool an audience like that, it’s very rewarding.” Especially when on a tight schedule: Mekash and her team are used to having just 24 hours to prep. On “Cult,” the challenge was being historically accurate while...

David Lynch made his presence known at Comic-Con without even being in San Diego last night, with producer Sabrina Sutherland reading a text from the “Twin Peaks” creator joking that, “in the Red Room, Special Agent Dale Cooper has already won the Emmy.” Much of the cast was on hand for the “Twin Peaks and the Revival of a Cult Classic” panel, with Chrysta Bell praising Lynch as “the most creative human that maybe has ever existed.”
“There’s art just pouring out of every pore in his body. I love the idea of being creatively involved with this person and with all the people that were on this program,” continued Bell, who played FBI Agent Tammy Preston on last year’s 18-episode revival. “It was tremendously arousing, as was said, and also just so fulfilling to be with a group of people who just loved what they were doing...

“Twin Peaks” may have ended its revival last year, but the world that David Lynch and Mark Frost created continues to live on. Such is the case with all properties with cult followings, and it may have been what inspired the Comic-Con panel Saturday night titled “Twin Peaks and the Revival of a Cult Classic.”
Taking place at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel’s Indigo Ballroom, the panel featured a fan-favorite lineup including executive producer Sabrina Sutherland, stars Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Brennan), Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan), Chrysta Bell (FBI Agent Tammy Preston), Robert Broski (Woodsman), John Pirruccello (Deputy Chad Broxford), Eric Edelstein (Det. “Smiley” Fusco), Nicole Laliberte (Darya), George Griffith (Ray Monroe), Amy Shiels (Candie), and Adele Rene (Lieutenant Cynthia Knox).
Sutherland revealed that Lynch had texted her, “I got my days mixed up and I’m going to be there yesterday if not sooner. It’s slippery in here.

After a 26 year wait in between seasons, a Cannes Film Festival premiere and a marquee cast that included Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ashley Judd, Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, David Koechner, and of course Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern, Showtime’s third season of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return was passed up by Emmy voters in all of its acting categories in addition to a limited series nomination.
For the long-awaited third season of the cult series, it’s about as bittersweet as the cherry pie in the lumber town, especially when you consider that on the upside, the TV Academy gave some respect to Lynch with his sixth, seventh and eighth Emmy noms of his career in limited series writing (shared with co-creator Mark Frost), directing and sound design for the show.
Overall, Twin Peaks counts nine Emmy nominations today, its other six being in the areas of production...

Could Miguel Ferrer become a posthumous Emmy nominee for “Twin Peaks: The Return”? The veteran character actor died of throat cancer in January 2017 after he shot the Showtime revival, in which he reprised his role as FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield. The TV academy often rewards stars who have died with nominations for their final performances, so could Ferrer compete for Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor? Despite a long list of TV credits including “The Stand” (1994), “Crossing Jordan” (2001-2007), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (2012-2017) and many more, he never earned an Emmy nomination during his lifetime.
Ferrer first appeared in the original “Twin Peaks” in a recurring role as an abrasive and sarcastic FBI forensics specialist assisting Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in his murder investigation in the title town. And he also appeared in the 1992 prequel film “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.” The 18-episode limited run in 2017 found him...

David Lynch stands a good chance of receiving writing and directing nominations at the Emmys for “Twin Peaks: The Return” given the show’s high profile and acclaim — it ranks second in our predictions for Best Limited Series. But can he compete for acting as well? The TV academy often loves to shower accolades on auteurs who wear multiple hats.
In addition to directing and co-writing (with Mark Frost) all 18 episodes of the Showtime revival, Lynch reprised his role as FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole, who’s on the hunt for missing Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan). Lynch is on the Emmy ballot for Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor for the performance.

Lynch wouldn’t be the first person to score multiple nominations for working both in front of and behind the camera.

What do Freddie Highmore, Kit Harington and Jonathan Groff have in common? They’re all on the Emmy ballot for Best Drama Actor, and they’re all among the top 10 contenders for nominations according to our racetrack odds. One more thing: they’re all under the age of 35, which might be a disadvantage. No man in his 20s and hardly anyone in their early 30s have been nominated for Best Drama Actor in the 21st century. The youngest man nominated since 2000 was Michael C. Hall for “Six Feet Under” in 2002. He was 31.
As we see at the Oscars, where only one man in his 20s has ever won Best Actor, Emmy voters don’t usually recognize whippersnappers. The youngest winner of the 21st century was Rami Malek, who was 35 when he won for “Mr. Robot” in 2016. Besides him only three other winners this century were under 40: James Gandolfini for...

It was exactly one year ago when we were still reeling from the experience that was episodes one through eight of David Lynch’s return to Twin Peaks, given a two-week July 4th break after the lattermost “Gotta Light?” episode aired, itself one of the greatest hours of television I’ve ever witnessed. Over the next ten weeks, we would savor the rest of what the director concocted, and in the year that has passed there’s been talk here and there that Lynch and crew weren’t completely closing the door on Dale Cooper and Laura Palmer’s story. However, having been extremely content in terms of where The Return ended, I was hoping the ecstatic response to Lynch’s masterwork resulted in more opportunities for the director to find feature film financing.
It looks like that may be the case.

Who will contend for Best Movie/Mini Actor at this year’s Emmys? Gold Derby has hosted exclusive web chats with 10 of this year’s possible competitors. Click the links below to be taken to their full, in-depth interviews.
Antonio Banderas (“Genius: Picasso”): Banderas plays famed Spanish surrealist painter Pablo Picasso in this second season of the NatGeo anthology series. He previously competed in this category at the Emmys for “And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself” (2003). That role also brought him a Golden Globe bid to go along with the two he received for Best Film Comedy/Musical Actor (“Evita” in 1996 and “The Mask of Zorro” in 1998).

“Twin Peaks: The Return” could bring David Lynch and Mark Frost‘s groundbreaking mystery series back to the Emmys 27 years after the end of its short-lived original run on ABC from 1990-1991. As of this writing we’re betting on the Showtime revival to earn nominations for Best Limited Series, Best Movie/Mini Actor (Kyle MacLachlan) and Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actress (Laura Dern). But what about elsewhere on the Emmy ballot? Below the line the show is going all-in on its most mind-bending episode, “Part 8.” Scroll down to see the show’s complete list of Emmy submissions.
The eighth episode of the series ventured into unfamiliar territory, even by “Twin Peaks” standards.

“It may turn out to be the highlight of my career,” says Kyle MacLachlan about working with director David Lynch on the 18-hour Showtime limited series “Twin Peaks: The Return.” He has worked with Lynch many times before, in the films “Dune” (1984) and “Blue Velvet” (1986) and the original “Twin Peaks” series that aired on ABC from 1990 to 1991. The idiosyncratic filmmaker is “such a brilliant mind and such an incredible director” that MacLachlan trusts him “in every manner.” Watch our exclusive video interview with MacLachlan above.
“The Return” revisited the story of FBI agent Dale Cooper (MacLachlan) — plus a couple of Cooper doppelgangers — and the terrifying mysteries that surround the title town in the Pacific Northwest. It aired weekly from May to September in 2017, but Showtime aired a marathon of the entire series on June 2.

David Lynch discovered Kyle MacLachlan when the actor was in his early twenties, with no TV or movie credits to his name. Lynch took a gamble and cast MacLachlan in his sci-fi flop Dune (1984), taking the actor with him to his next project, the controversial 1987 arthouse smash Blue Velvet. Though MacLachlan went on to work with other directors, the actor has remained synonymous with Lynch, largely due to the cult ’90s show Twin Peaks, in which MacLachlan played quirky FBI agent Dale Cooper. When the series returned last May, fans expected to see the cute Coop of yesteryear. What they got instead was several Coopers for the price of one.
There were lots of rumors about the return of Twin Peaks after the second series ended. Had there been a lot of false starts over those 25 years, and when did you realize that David was serious about doing this again?...

One of the hottest races at the Emmy Awards last year was the limited series category: “Big Little Lies” eventually triumphed, but when your runners-up include “Fargo” and “Feud,” you know it’s a quality race. Quite a shift from the start of the decade, when only two shows, “The Pacific” and “Return to Cranford,” were nominated in 2010. The year before, only “Little Dorrit” and “Generation Kill” earned noms. Things looked so bleak, the category was combined with the TV movie category for a bit. While the two categories still share acting nominees, the limited series category has been back on its own since the 2014 awards.
In recent years, the category has been dominated by big stars who get the appeal of appearing on television without an open-ended commitment. The same applies to off-camera talent; this year alone, filmmakers like David Lynch (“Twin Peaks”), Scott Frank (“Godless”) and Steven Soderbergh (“Mosaic”) have released limited series.

Among the many darkly mystifying and enigmatically surreal sequences that populate director David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” revival, the eighth episode offers one its most compelling: Mr. C — the Black Lodge doppelganger of Special Agent Dale Cooper (both played by Kyle MacLachlan) — stops on a lonely, darkened highway to confront his traveling companion Ray Monroe (George Griffith) at gunpoint. After Ray shoots the evil entity himself, a bizarre pack of grimy, shadowy woodsmen emerges from the forest and tears C apart, extracting a sack containing the face of Bob, the series’ longstanding malignant spirit. Lynch leaves the sequence to be interpreted and decoded by the audience — and his crew, which shoots scenes without an exact linear context.

Most remember Sherilyn Fenn for her role as Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks. She portrayed the high school student becoming an adult in as fascinatingly seductive a manner possible in the 1950s period. The TV series received critical praise, and Audrey was a fan favorite. She wore tight sweaters, plaid skirts and saddle shoes-all 50s fashion- and she loved FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper with no return of his love. But, the scene where she danced while knotting a cherry stem in her mouth has become iconic. It also unleashed a decades-long party game where everyone tried to do it

Before “Twin Peaks” turned Kyle MacLachlan into the iconic Agent Dale Cooper, he was Jeffrey Beaumont, a college kid who uncovers the dark underbelly of his North Carolina hometown in David Lynch’s 1986 Oscar-nominated film “Blue Velvet.” At Lynch’s 2018 Festival of Disruption in Brooklyn, MacLachlan was joined by his co-star Isabella Rossellini, who played troubled nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens, and the two stars looked back on filming one of Lynch’s most memorable and haunting films.
Although “Blue Velvet” tackles some disturbing material — the film’s plot kicks off when Jeffrey (MacLachlan) finds a severed ear in a field, and he later witnesses Dorothy’s (Rossellini) horrifying ritualistic rape — Rossellini says the atmosphere on set was anything but troubling, and stressed the importance of an on-set environment where actors feel both safe and happy.
“You Become More Creative and More Daring”
“It was a very warm set,” she explained.

A flock of sheep, fleeces and faces splattered with blood, mill around the camera in ovine alarm. The source of the blood is revealed: a young farmer standing among them, with an enormous spurting gash across her throat, so deep you can see tendons and perhaps even the white of bone. It’s a shocking image to see in the first minute of a film, but what makes the opening of Alejandro Fadel’s “Murder Me, Monster” truly memorable is when the woman’s hands come up into frame as she tries to fix her nearly severed head back on her neck. This unflinchingly grotesque and darkly comic opening, however, is deceptive in being so declarative. Most of the rest of this Un Certain Regard title burns much lower and slower, mountainously heavy with mood and metaphysics, and almost completely incomprehensible.

Emmy voters love rewarding performers who show their range and versatility by playing multiple roles — just look at Tatiana Maslany‘s victory as various clones on “Orphan Black” (Best Drama Actress, 2016). This year no one fits that bill more than “Twin Peaks” scene-stealer Kyle MacLachlan. In Showtime’s revival of the cult fave MacLachlan takes on three different characters: FBI Agent Dale Cooper, Cooper’s evil doppelganger, and the dimwitted Dougie Jones. Will MacLachlan follow in Maslany’s footsteps at the 2018 Emmys?
