As a follow-up to
my first "Twin Peaks Cinema" podcast, exploring four films by directors of
Twin Peaks episode (I also discussed co-creator Mark Frost's
Storyville and director Tim Hunter's
River's Edge in standalone podcasts) I am gathering another four such titles. This time all the filmmakers debuted on
Twin Peaks during its second season and they provide a wide range of genres and approaches. Todd Holland's
The Wizard (1989) is a Nintendo advertisement disguised as a family film (or maybe vice versa) with a wacky, bombastic flair akin to his own
Twin Peaks episodes 11 and 20; Graeme Clifford's moving
Frances (1982) tells the story of troubled Hollywood star Frances Farmer in a fashion that anticipates both the tragedy of Laura Palmer and some of the climactic moments in his episode 12; Uli Edel's horror film
Pay the Ghost (2015) uses similar horror/thriller techniques he utilized when Leo woke up in episode 21; and Diane Keaton's
Heaven (1987 - not 1986 as I kept saying for some reason) is unmistakably in the same style she employed in her off-the-wall episode 22.
