My first introduction to twin peaks was late at night at a hostel backpacking around Sumatra, near some volcano is my best recollection.
But as i was international, i saw the international pilot, essentially the start of the series with some new footage.
Getting into Lynch later, i was for many years utterly confused to what i had seen, as the international pilot is a pretty tight film on it’s own. It was shot on film, like the series, and had an ending that made sense, maybe 15 min that wasn’t in the series.
Years later i could never figure out what it was, it was like the series but not at all like Fire Walk with Me.
Only about 5 years ago figured out there was this international cut. Very Lynchian.
