Hu Shiyao, 31, is a publicity specialist at Shanghai Concert Hall. She is usually exposed to artistic work, and she is more loyal to her aesthetic taste when selecting films. "Twin Peaks Town", which is regarded as a classic by the majority of literary and artistic youth and fans, has the honor of being screened during the film festival this year, which undoubtedly makes them very excited. David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" and "Twin Peaks" and other films belong to the works that will be newly discovered no matter how many times you watch it, and this time, Miss Hu also has her own new discoveries. Regarding the selection of films for film festivals, I prefer a type of theme that rarely has the opportunity to be screened in mainland theaters on weekdays, such as the "Midnight Surprise" specially opened by this year's film festival, and the films of directors such as David Lynch and Shimizu Takashi, which are included in their own "ticket purchase list". Finally, watch "Midnight Bells" and "Twin Peaks Town: Walking with Fire" and experience the most unique charm of midnight cinema. "We'll see each other in 25 years." At the end of the second season of Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer's words really came true. Director David Lynch not only rebooted Twin Peaks, which was a sensation in the United States and created a ratings myth and hot topic after 25 years. At the same time, Lynch's 1992 film "Twin Peaks Town: Walking with Fire" was also screened in the "4K Restoration" section of this year's Shanghai Film Festival.
The movie "Twin Peaks Town: Walking with Fire" is a prequel to the TV series "Twin Peaks Town", and Lynch completely locks the story on the heroine Laura, showing the most tragic 7 days of her life before she was killed. In this film, Lynch began to gradually establish his narrative style of future films——— a non-linear narrative of "pretending to be mysterious". His use of grotesque elements, surreal logic, black humor, and typical lens aesthetics dissect the heroine's repressed life as a victim of sexual assault, the psychological state of struggle and pain, and the confusion of the growth period. Various symbolic images are presented on the big screen: red curtains, geometric floor tiles, doors in paintings, illusory horses, decadent cigarette butts, buzzing electric fans... The darkened photography style, empty shots and frightening large close-ups are eerie and psychedelic and colorful. The subconscious mind is intertwined with reality, and dreams and truth are intertwined. A real fear seeps through the curtain into the audience. This is where David Lynch is best known, his films are storytelling, but he cleverly pulls the audience into the screen, sets up the atmosphere, sets up clues, provides hints, and he needs the audience to "immerse" themselves in the story. The two most classic passages in the film are very Lynch. Agent David Bowie, the most mysterious character in the Twin Peaks world, appears in the aisle with the male protagonist Cooper, when Cooper walks into the monitoring room, he finds that his figure still appears on the screen, and then David Bowie disappears. What does this classic bridge represent? With the passing of David Bowie, it could become an eternal mystery. In another classic, Laura goes to a pink underground bar with her friends before she is killed. David Lynch's own music — the beat of the drums, the ambiguity of the modern blues, the audience hallucinating with Laura in the daytime, and the hysterical pleasure of the deep inside of the night. At the end of the film, everyone seems to be immersed in this dream created by Lynch using images, music, and meditation, until the end of the subtitles, there is thunderous applause on the set, returning to reality. When the Palme d'Or film was released at the Cannes Film Festival 25 years ago, it was booed for its avant-garde approach and echo of the series, which made unfamiliar audiences feel uncomfortable. Times are changing, 25 years later at the Shanghai Film Festival, everyone has understood the essence of David Lynch and this film, a dream created 25 years ago, 25 years later, the audience is still willing to immerse themselves in it, do not want to wake up. Hu Shiyao told reporters that when she came out of the Great Bright Cinema that day, the subway had just ended operations. The midnight sky is drizzling, and the street lights project red and white colors. It dawned on her that if David Lynch was good at creating dreams, I was now in dreams—a dream that could only be made in Shanghai every June. Indeed, shanghai's annual June month is mixed with sweltering, humid and everyone's hated rainy season, but the annual fan carnival always continues. Light and shadow build dreams, which is a theme of the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival this year, may also be the theme of every year in the hearts of film fans, come to the movie to find dreams, build dreams, and enjoy them.
