I can't agree that everything can be classified under the modern-postmodern dichotomy. But if you still want to define it, then you should probably look at what Twin Peaks is inspired by. Lynch was studying to be an artist. His perception of small towns is inspired by the work of Edward Hopper wikipedia.org Otherwise , it is the influence of the work of surrealist artists who tried to depict a space where time flows non-linearly, and substances easily change their aggregate state. It's hard to see the logic in the series, but the prequel to Fire Walk With Me put everything in its place, the system became clear. This is not absurdism. But I don't see any obvious signs of modernity or postmodernism here.
Any movie reference book or film critic will tell you that David Lynch is about postmodernism. Such a reputation was officially established for him after “Blue Velvet” – whether you like it or not, but having signs of what is usually called postmodernism in general and in cinema – especially. Lynch is usually mentioned along with Tarantino and the Coens among the postmodernists of cinema. As you know, millions can be mistaken, but the accumulated reputation should be taken into account. However, let's be specific. Cinema is an invention of the key era for modernity as such (that is, it was born in modernity and modernity at the same time), and the TV series is in some sense a “great narrative” that postmodernism supposedly abolishes. In addition, much wilder experimental films without a clear structure-and those often go under the heading “modernist experimental works”. In this respect, after all, and “Twin Peaks – – modern. However, as a work that is specific to a particular era and the epistemological category that defines it, “Twin Peaks”is quite a postmodernist. First of all, it is popular – it is a replicated “piece of art”, the show was created for television and is well-known thanks to television. Secondly, it celebrates everyday life (What kind of wonderful coffee? What is the perfect taste of this cherry pie?) – which is typical of postmodernism. Third, it is unlikely that anyone will argue that the show violates many genre conventions-from the logic of the development of traditional soap operas to interventions in genres as such. Then you can list it for a very long time. In short, “Twin Peaks” is not “modern or postmodern”, but “modern and postmodern”, co-existing simultaneously, but in different universes of logic.
